title: Giant pseudocyst formation associated with chronic corneal edema.
abstract: A 39-year-old man with a 3-week history of an enlarging mass protruding from his right cornea is presented. Clinical and pathologic findings were compatible with a large corneal pseudocyst. Causes of corneal cyst and pseudocyst formation, as well as a proposed mechanism for the giant pseudocyst formation presented here, are discussed.
