Purpose: To report a rare case of conjunctival myxoma invading the caruncle. Case summary: A 46-year-old man presented with a medical canthal conjunctival mass in his left eye. The mass was a semi-transparent, yellowish, movable mass 10 mm × 6 mm in size in the subconjunctival space. There was no pain and no tenderness. Excisional biopsy of the mass was performed. Histopathologic examination revealed findings suggestive of myxoma. Conclusions: Relatively transparent, movable, yellowish to pinkish conjunctival masses at medial canthal area without pain or tenderness can be diagnosed as myxoma on biopsy and myxoma can be seen at caruncle.
