PURPOSE: To report a solitary epibulbar neurofibroma in 2 elderly patients without systemic neurofibromatosis.
METHODS: Case reports and literature review.
RESULTS: A 67-year-old man presented with a 2-month history of left epibulbar mass. On slit-lamp examination, an 8- × 8-mm amelanotic, translucent, gelatinous, circumscribed lesion was present deep to the nasal bulbar conjunctiva. A 60-year-old otherwise healthy man presented with a 6-week history of a subconjunctival growth causing pain and photophobia in his right eye. On slit-lamp examination, an 8- × 8-mm amelanotic, translucent, gelatinous, circumscribed subconjunctival lesion, causing a delle was present near the nasal limbus. In each case, excisional biopsy was performed and histopathologic study revealed the diagnosis of neurofibroma. In both cases, after 12 months of follow-up, there was no evidence of recurrence or systemic disease.
CONCLUSIONS: Solitary epibulbar neurofibroma in older adult patients without systemic neurofibromatosis is rare but should be considered in the differential diagnosis of epibulbar tumors.
