Abstract

We present the clinical and histopathological findings in the unusual case of a recurrent corneal tumour in a child. Light and ultrastructural observations as well as immunohistochemistry indicate a benign reactive process. However, the prognosis regarding visual function is poor due to the infiltrative nature of the lesion and its tendency to recur. A possible diagnosis of nodular fasciitis is discussed.
