A conjunctival leiomyoma.

PURPOSE: To report a conjunctival leiomyoma. DESIGN: Observational case report. METHODS: A 35-year-old man was referred to us for evaluation of a lesion in his left eye. The lesion had been present for 1 year but had recently caused irritation. Ophthalmologic examination revealed an elevated mass in the episclera. There was no associated conjunctival/episcleral injection. Ocular examination was otherwise entirely normal. An excisional biopsy was performed. RESULTS: The histopathologic and immunohistochemistry examinations established the diagnosis of a conjunctival leiomyoma. CONCLUSION: This case represents the first report, known to date, describing the occurrence of a conjunctival leiomyoma.

Solitary intracranial extra-osseous plasmacytoma presenting with ophthalmic signs.

Solitary plasmacytomas rarely develop in the skull, meninges, or brain. Ophthalmic signs as the initial manifestations of solitary intracranial plasmacytoma have rarely been described. We report the neuro-ophthalmologic, imaging, and pathologic findings for two patients. One patient presented with optic neuropathy, the second with bilateral sixth nerve palsies. Plasmacytoma is a treatable intracranial tumor that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients who present with optic neuropathy or sixth nerve palsy.
