Giant corneal keloid: case report and review of the literature.

PURPOSE:To report a patient with a tumor-like corneal keloid. METHODS:Retrospective review of clinical features and histopathologic findings. RESULTS:A 68-year-old woman with a remote history of an orbital tumor treated with radiation developed a corneal tumor. A biopsy of the tumor showed fibrocellular tissue, and her blind painful eye was enucleated. Pathologic findings in the enucleated eye showed that the corneal mass was consistent with a large keloid. CONCLUSIONS:A corneal keloid may clinically appear as a large corneal tumor.
