We report the case of a 25-year-old man who had a penetrating keratoplasty for keratoconus. A year and a half after surgery a cyst was noted in the anterior chamber, which was observed to enlarge over six months. Because of anxiety about endothelial touch, it was removed surgically. Histologically the cyst was composed of stratified, non-keratinized squamous epithelium attached to loose fibrova...

In a 35-year-old patient with keratoconus a cyst of the iris was first observed 22 months after routine penetrating keratoplasty. The lesion was completely excised and shown by light and transmission electron microscopy to be composed of conjunctival epithelium organised as a single large cyst containing serous material and occasional free epithelial cells. The management of epithelial implanta...
