| Popis: | A 45-year-old white man had a bulbar subconjunctival mass, eyelid edema, and choroidal indentation. Biopsy of the subconjunctival mass revealed acute and chronic inflammation. One year later a spontaneous vitreous hemorrhage, choroidal folds, increased choroidal indentation, and serous retinal detachment were present. B-mode ultrasonography, operative findings, and biopsy revealed a chronic inflammatory mass with fibrosis confined to Tenon's capsule. Initial treatment with systemic corticosteroids resulted in no improvement, but mild progression occurred when the corticosteroids were tapered. Improvement occurred to the previous level of involvement when corticosteroids were reinstituted. |
