Conjunctival myxoma is an uncommon benign tumor that may develop as a localized disease or as part of the Carney complex, in which case it can cause significant morbidity and mortality. Conjunctival myxomas can mimic other pure or mixed tumors and are often overlooked in clinical practice. Histopathological studies are essential for diagnosis; however, controversy regarding their pathological and immunohistochemical features makes the diagnostic process more difficult. Because of the importance of correctly classifying these conjunctival tumors, as well as recognizing when a systematic screening is required owing to the possible association with life-threatening diseases, we comprehensively evaluate the literature on this rare entity based on a systematic approach.

结膜粘液瘤是一种罕见的良性肿瘤，可能发展为局部疾病或卡尼复合体的一部分，在这种情况下，它会导致显着的发病率和死亡率。结膜粘液瘤可以模仿其他纯肿瘤或混合肿瘤，在临床实践中经常被忽视。组织病理学研究对诊断至关重要；然而，关于其病理和免疫组织化学特征的争议使得诊断过程更加困难。由于正确分类这些结膜肿瘤的重要性，以及由于可能与危及生命的疾病相关而认识到何时需要进行系统筛查，我们基于系统方法全面评估了关于这种罕见实体的文献。
