  • Title: Corneal keloid: clinical, ultrasonographic, and ultrastructural characteristics.
    Author: Bourcier T, Baudrimont M, Boutboul S, Thomas F, Borderie V, Laroche L.
    Journal: J Cataract Refract Surg; 2004 Apr; 30(4):921-4. PubMed ID: 15093664.
    Abstract:
    A 70-year-old man was referred to us with a 2-year, progressive, painless decrease in visual acuity in the right eye. Ocular history included extraction of a traumatic cataract with a transclerally fixated posterior chamber intraocular lens. Slitlamp examination showed a raised, white, vascularized mass covering the cornea. The lesion was removed by superficial lamellar keratectomy. Light microscopy examination confirmed the diagnosis of corneal keloid. These uncommon lesions usually develop in adults after corneal traumas, surgery, or inflammatory processes. They have also been described in children with Lowe's syndrome, Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome, and other ocular developmental disorders.
