Resumo


Corneal keloid is a rare ophthalmic condition, with approximately 85 reported cases. (PALKO, 2019). Corneal keloids are characterized by focal white-greyish elevated, painless lesions on the cornea, that can be vascular or nonvascular, with welldefined borders and varying thickness and size. (MINAMIDATE, 2023; LI, 2022) Corneal keloids may occur months to years after a corneal insult, most often in children and young adults. (PALKO, 2019) The condition’s etiology remains unknown. (LI, 2022) We report a case of a corneal keloid in a 72-year-old male who has presented for a routine cataract surgery evaluation.
