[Giant cell collagenoma of the bulbar conjunctiva].

Purpose/methods: To report a rare case of a tumor in a conjunctival location, a giant cell collagenoma. Tissue was stained with hematoxylin-eosin, periodic acid-Schiff, and Masson's trichromic stain and studied by immunohistochemistry.

Results/conclusion: The clinical and histopathologic features of conjunctival giant cell collagenoma are similar to characteristics of the same tumor occurring in other parts of the body.

[Endogenous Nocardia asteroides endophthalmitis in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus].

We report a case of endogenous nocardial endophthalmitis in a 32-year-old man with systemic lupus erythematosus. The patient developed pulmonary and ocular disease while on systemic corticosteroid and cyclophosphamide treatment. The intraocular infection progressed to a scleral fistula, and was treated with pars plana vitrectomy, lensectomy, intravitreous and intravenous antibacterial therapy.

[Intraocular cilia with macular pucker: clinicopathologic correlation].
