title: [Bilateral elastosis of the limbus].
abstract: We report of a case of bilateral limbus involvement by white lesions. A 72-year-old man was referred for bilateral lesions involving the inferior part of the corneal limbus. White excrescences associated with a vascular pannus were observed at biomicroscope examination. Histologic patterns showed degenerative fibroelastosis. Degenerative fibroelastosis can be observed at the inferior corneal limbus.
