Myolipoma of the Eye associate with Giant Fornix SyndromeTrevor Jurges, Taylor SilvaSimple light microscopic inspection was used tomake the identification of spindle-shaped cells,which is a key indicator of the presence ofadipocytes and smooth muscle cells. MRI(magnetic resonance imaging) was used toconfirm the protuberance into the orbital area.Through this process the classification made was amyolipoma.ImagingRare, orbital myolipoma case with fornix syndrome andfornix reconstructionResultsMethodsConclusionIt is important to note that the exactorigin of myolipoma's is still unknown.This case is currently ongoing andconclusions will be drawn when moretesting and data is obtained. Unique andrare cases such as this one are complexand can be daunting, yet these are theexact sort of cases that pose difficultquestions and push medical knowledgeforward in meaningful ways if paidproper attention.PurposeMyolipoma is described as a benign soft tissue neoplasm, a rarevariant of lipoma marked by the proliferation of mature fat andmature smooth-muscle tissue. Myolipoma cases most commonlypresent in women during the fifth and sixth decades of life.Myolipoma is most often found in the retroperitoneum,abdomen, pelvis, inguinal region, or abdominal wall; therefore, acase of orbital myolipoma is exceedingly rare. The rarity of a caseis demonstrated by the lack of published medical literature,worldwide, on this topic with only two other similar casesreported. Here we report the third case, a 94-year-old femalepresenting with giant fornix syndrome and recurrent orbitinfections who underwent fornix reconstruction and excisionalbiopsy of the mass. Because orbital myolipoma is so rare and thespecifics of diagnosis still unknown, we hope to synthesize andpresent relevant data with the hope of brining awareness andinterest to the topic.The H&E sections show a fairly well-circumscribed lesion composed ofmorphologically bland spindle cells,smooth muscle immunoreactivity andadipose tissue, consistent withmyolipoma. This case demonstrates thethird case of myolipoma of eyelid andthe patient ultimately underwent fornixreconstruction and excisional biopsy ofthe mass.94-year-old woman, with a history of giant fornix syndrome and recurrent infections.Immunohistochemical Stained Histological View of the Biopsied Tissue
