We report a 12-year-old boy who presented with the clinical appearance of a limbal dermoid recurrence. Histologic study of the lesion revealed it to be a corneal keloid. In the event of a recurrent mass following dermoid excision, keloid should be considered in the differential diagnosis.

We conducted clinical and histological evaluations on two male patients who presented with corneal keloid. One patient had a history of corneal trauma due to contact with boiling sunflower oil, while the other had undergone pterygium removal. Upon slit lamp examination, the corneal lesions were identified as single, well-circumscribed, pearly white nodules with a smooth surface.

- The study examined the decision-making abilities of six AI models regarding surgical recommendations for a hypothetical patient with myopia and a keloid history, comparing their advice to that of six experienced ophthalmologists.
- AI models initially suggested photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), while all ophthalmologists unanimously recommended laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK).
- Over half of the references provided by AI were fictitious, indicating a significant lack of reliability and critical thinking in the AI models' assessments of clinical risk factors related to refractive surgery.
Progressive conjunctival invasion of cornea in a child with Warburg-Cinotti Syndrome: a case report.

Department of Ophthalmology, Peking University Third Hospital, 49 North Garden Road, Haidian District, Beijing, China.
Background: Warburg-Cinotti syndrome is a rare syndrome caused by de novo or inherited variants in discoding domain receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (DDR2). Only six cases have been reported worldwide and our knowledge of this disease remained sparse especially from an ophthalmological perspective, since previous literature mostly focused on systemic malformations or genetics.
Case Presentation: A seven-year-old boy developed a gelatinous vascularized conjunctiva-like mass secondary to trauma.
Rare case of corneal keloid following radial keratotomy for myopia.

An adult male in his 50s presented with complaints of glare and gradual, painless, progressive diminution of vision in the right eye (RE). Visual acuity in RE was noted to be 2/60, and slit lamp biomicroscopy revealed a pearly grey-white elevated corneal opacity measuring 4 mm × 3 mm, obscuring the visual axis. There was no history of ocular trauma or infection.
