Abstract
A 39-year-old man with a 3-week history of an enlarging mass protrudin g from his right cornea is presented. Clinical and pathologic findings were compatible with a large corneal pseudocyst. Causes of corneal cy st and pseudocyst formation, as well as a proposed mechanism for the g iant pseudocyst formation presented here, are discussed.
