  • Title: Fibrous histiocytoma of the corneosclera.
    Author: Litriĉin O.
    Journal: Arch Ophthalmol; 1983 Mar; 101(3):426-8. PubMed ID: 6299256.
    Abstract:
    A 65-year-old woman had a slowly progressive sclerocorneal lesion that, after three years of unsuccessful medical treatment, involved almost the whole cornea and the surrounding sclera in the temporal lower quadrant. The tumor had a nodular surface. During the next two years, the tumor was operated on four times (twice by keratectomy and twice by lamellar sclerokeratoplasty). Microscopic examination revealed a fibrous histiocytoma. The resection was histologically incomplete on all occasions. Five years after the onset of the disease, the eye was enucleated. A spontaneous invasion of the iris could not be diagnosed with certainty, because there was a perforation at the limbus during a preceding operation.
