However, it is thought to be a reactive process that can be caused by corneal infections, ectasia, ocular trauma, or surgery.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Presentation of case:<\/jats:title>\n In this case report, we describe a 35-year-old-woman who presented with corneal myxoma after micro-pulse cyclophotocoagulation (MPCPC). The patient presented with decreased vision due to a large pedunculated white corneal mass after being treated with MPCPC as a non-surgical management of her pre-existing glaucoma. The corneal mass was localized to the sub-epithelial space and was excised successfully by a minimal invasive procedure without recurrence over a 1-year period.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n Corneal myxomas are unusual benign tumors typically seen in adults as whitish gelatinous lesion. Only a few individual cases and case series have been reported in the literature. The exact pathogenesis is yet to be known. The lesion is thought to be due to an inflammatory process. We are reporting a case of corneal myxoma that has occurred after MPCPC which is a non-surgical cyclodestructive procedure. The procedure has not been mentioned previously as a risk factor for corneal myxoma. Our case is the first corneal myxoma developing after MPCPC.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n We report a corneal myxoma noted in a young female after a non-surgical laser procedure. Though the lesion is rare, it should be considered in physicians' differential of a corneal mass especially in the presence of chronic ocular.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Highlights<\/jats:title>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2024.109677","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,21]],"date-time":"2024-04-21T18:05:56Z","timestamp":1713722756000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Corneal myxoma following micro-pulse cyclophotocoagulation in a young female: A case report"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"119","author":[{"given":"Khalid M.","family":"Alshomar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ad Diriyah Hospital, Riyadh Third Health Cluster (Ministry of Health), Ad Diriyah, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hind M.","family":"Alkatan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hussam M.","family":"Al-Razqan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anterior Segment Division, King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmed S.","family":"Al-Saleh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anterior Segment Division, King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nouf A.","family":"Alzendi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Glaucoma Division, King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"R1-34-20260422","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-022-15475-1","article-title":"Clinical features and histopathological analysis of corneal myxoma","volume":"12","author":"Al-Qahtani","year":"2022","journal-title":"Sci.
