Résumé
The aim of this study was to describe a novel presentation of conjunctival smooth muscle hamartoma and review the histopathologic findings of this entity. A 17-year-old African American adolescent boy presented with a pink, nontender lesion of the right bulbar conjunctiva that did not improve with medical management. He had no previous medical or ocular history. The lesion was excised. Histopathologic examination disclosed morphologically benign smooth muscle bundles within the substantia propria that stained positively for smooth muscle actin, vimentin, and desmin consistent with the diagnosis of a smooth muscle hamartoma. Although congenital smooth muscle hamartomas of the conjunctiva have been rarely reported in the literature, this is the first described case of a smooth muscle hamartoma presenting in adolescence in the bulbar conjunctiva. This lesion should be considered in the differential diagnosis for adolescents with similar appearing lesions.
