  • Title: [Keratoplasty in unsuspected corneal cancer--case report].
    Author: Daxecker F, Philipp W, Mikuz G.
    Journal: Fortschr Ophthalmol; 1989; 86(3):189-91. PubMed ID: 2668131.
    Abstract:
    A carcinoma of the cornea is rare. A 48-year-old man underwent keratoplasty because of corneal dystrophy. Micro-scopic examination showed a squamous cell carcinoma that had spread over the entire cornea and had just reached the limbus. A conjunctival biopsy was performed. Histological analysis showed conjunctival tissue that was covered with normal epithelium. No carcinoma cells were evident.
