Infantile corneal myxoma.

Arif O Khan1, Hind Al-Katan, Saeed Al-Gehedan.   

Abstract

Myxomas, benign tumors of modified fibroblasts that produce small amounts of collagen but large amounts of glycosaminoglycans, typically occur in the left atrium of the heart or various soft tissues. Corneal myxoma is extremely rare, with only 8 previously reported cases to date, all of which were in individuals 26 years of age or older. The current report documents the clinical and histopathologic features of a 4-month-old girl with infantile corneal myxoma.
