Such sarcomas of the eye are, however, a rare occurrence.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Purpose:<\/jats:title>\n Herein, the histopathological features of a case of conjunctival leiomyosarcoma are described. A 38-year-old HIV-positive male, who was otherwise fit and healthy, presented with redness of his right eye and a mass of the conjunctiva. Clinically, he did not have any soft-tissue masses elsewhere in the body.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Method:<\/jats:title>\n He underwent monoblock excision of the conjunctival mass which was confirmed histologically to be a leiomyosarcoma. Unfortunately, the patient had not returned for follow-up examination.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n The differential diagnosis of a conjunctival spindle cell neoplasm is broad. While a spindle cell carcinoma is the most likely tumour, other tumours must be borne in mind so as not to misdiagnose primary sarcomas in this unusual location.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/2050313x17724060","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,9]],"date-time":"2017-08-09T04:55:36Z","timestamp":1502254536000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Conjunctival leiomyosarcoma: A fairly common tumour in an uncommon site"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Reubina","family":"Wadee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomical Pathology, University of the Witwatersrand Medical School, Johannesburg, South Africa"},{"name":"National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS), Johannesburg, South Africa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-2050313X17724060","unstructured":"Lazar A, Evans HL, Shipley J.
