Key result
Excisional biopsy successfully resolves rare eyelid margin myxoma with no recurrence at 3 months.
Why the study?
Eyelid margin myxomas are rare benign tumors that present a diagnostic challenge and may precede Carney complex before potentially lethal cardiac manifestations develop.
Case Report (n=1)
Eyelid margin myxomas are rare benign tumors that require histopathological confirmation and evaluation to rule out Carney complex and its potentially lethal cardiac manifestations.

Histopathological confirmation and Carney screening warranted for eyelid margin lesions; leaves open syndromic association in isolated cases.
Eyelid margin myxomas are rare benign tumors that may presage Carney complex before potentially lethal cardiac manifestations develop. We report a 59-year-old woman with an enlarging left lower eyelid margin lesion, clinically suspicious for malignancy. Excisional biopsy with histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation confirmed myxoma. Personal and family histories revealed no features suggestive of Carney complex, and no local recurrence was observed at 3-month follow-up. This case highlights the diagnostic challenge of eyelid margin myxomas and the oculoplastic surgeon’s opportunity to recognize a cutaneous clue to clinically significant systemic disease.

Brown et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Eyelid margin myxoma (n=1). Excisional biopsy with histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation was evaluated on Local recurrence at 3-month follow-up. Excisional biopsy confirmed a benign eyelid margin myxoma in a 59-year-old woman, with 0% local recurrence observed at 3-month follow-up.
