Аннотация
PURPOSE: To report a novel case of solitary myofibroma involving the sclera.
METHODS: Case report and review of the literature.
RESULTS: A 19-year-old woman had an expanding and painful epibulbar mass clinically diagnosed as nodular scleritis that did not respond to anti-inflammatory therapy. A biopsy showed a proliferation of spindle-shaped cells that reacted strongly positively with immunoperoxidase stains for vimentin and smooth-muscle actin. The diagnosis of solitary myofibroma was made. Six months postoperatively, the patient was well, and the lesion had not recurred.
CONCLUSIONS: Myofibroma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of an epibulbar mass, especially in the setting that would mimic nodular scleritis.
