title: Subconjunctival mycetoma after sub-Tenon's corticosteroid injection.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe a case of a subconjunctival mycetoma that developed after a patient received a sub-Tenon's injection of triamcinolone acetonide.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A 76-year-old white male presented with a subconjunctival mass in the area of a previous posterior sub-Tenon's corticosteroid injection for wet age-related macular degeneration. Microbiologic and pathologic analysis of the mass revealed the causative organism to be the pigmented fungus Exophiala jeanselmei.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This is the first published case of an Exophiala-associated subconjunctival mycetoma.
