title: [Recurrent fibrous histiocytoma at the corneoscleral limbus].
abstract: This case report describes a rare fibrous histiocytoma at the corneoscleral limbus in a 10-year-old boy. In our patient the tumour was histologically classified as benign, however, it presented with an invasive growth pattern and recurrency, so that a penetrating sclerokeratoplasty became necessary. This case is set in the context to the existing case reports in the literature.
