Cornea Plana is a bilateral and asymmetric congenital malformation of the corneo-scleral shape. Corneo-scleral lenses are said to be the preferential treatment. We reported the case of a 20-year-old woman, whose Cornea Plana was diagnosed at birth, with high hypermetropia and well-corrected with routine spectacles since she was 6 months old.

[Caruncular melanoma. Apropos of clinical case].

The clinicopathologic case of a 69-year-old-female patient with a big caruncular melanoma is reported. Tumor was excised surgically and underwent external conventional radiation therapy with no recurrence two years later. Histopathology endorsed the clinical diagnosis and thickness of the tumor measured 5.5 mm. The bad prognosis of the caruncular location was reinforced by the tumor thickness. A better knowledge of conjunctival melanomas characteristics might allow an earlier diagnosis and a better prognosis as irradiation following surgical treatment appears efficient on unifocal limited melanomas.

[Pigmented basal cell carcinoma of the eyelid. Apropos of a clinical case].

A clinico-pathologic case of a 83-year-old female patient with a deeply pigmented inferior lid tumor is reported. The histopathological study of the tumor demonstrated a pigmented basal cell carcinoma. Numerous different tumors may affect the eyelids, melanocytic or not in nature. True melanomas are infrequent compared with the numerous other pigmented tumors, which always need a histological analysis.

[Chronic pseudo-tumor inflammation of the eyelid induced by reaction to a non-resorbable suture. Apropos of an anatomo-clinical case].

A clinico-pathological observation of one case of nonabsorbable sutures in the superior right eyelid was reported in a 79-year-old patient. The main clinical finding was a painful reddish eyelid. Surgical excision was performed. Histopathological analysis found a non-granulomatous chronic inflammatory reaction surrounding suture fragments. Uncommon in eyelids, such an inflammatory reaction against sutures attests the likely intolerance to the suture material.
