ABSTRACT
We report the clinical and pathological findings in a case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma in the conjunctiva of a 60-year-old man. The patient initially had an atypical limbal lesion, resembling a pterygium, which was excised. Two local recurrences, noted during the following year, were treated by surgical excision followed by cryotherapy. Histopathologic examination of the conjunctival lesions showed a stromal neoplastic infiltrate composed of atypical spindle cells and histiocytelike cells. The immunohistochemical and ultrastructural studies suggested that the tumor was composed of various cellular elements fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, and histiocytes.
