“…12 Noncaseating granulomas have also been reported in a patient with lattice stromal corneal dystrophy 8 months after undergoing phototherapeutic keratectomy. 13 Xanthogranuloma has rarely been found in adults, and it would present as a solitary yellowish nodule at the limbus, which was not seen in our case. Based on microbiological staining, there was no evidence of infectious keratitis caused by Acanthamoeba or fungi in our case.…”

The purpose of this study was to present a case of diffuse noncaseating granulomas involving the corneal stroma in a patient with ocular and pulmonary sarcoidosis.Methods: This was a single case report.Results: A 31-year-old female patient presented with a 6-year history of panuveitis of the right eye along with a history of pulmonary sarcoidosis and a conjunctival biopsy of the right eye that was reported as positive for sarcoidosis. At presentation to our clinic, the patient had band keratopathy, vascularization of the inferonasal cornea, and active anterior uveitis of the right eye. When the patient returned for a follow-up of 15 months after the initial presentation, the cornea of the right eye exhibited widespread stromal scarring and vascularization. Because of the corneal scarring, the patient underwent an implantation of a Boston type 1 keratoprosthesis in the right eye. Histopathological examination of the host corneal tissue removed at the time of the keratoprosthesis procedure revealed extensive noncaseating granulomas in the deep corneal stroma. The patient underwent penetrating keratoplasty 8 months later, and histopathological examination again demonstrated noncaseating granulomas, this time at the edges of the donor corneal graft used during the keratoprosthesis implantation. Conclusions:We present the histopathological evidence of sarcoidosis involving the corneal stroma. Interestingly, the stromal keratitis also subsequently involved the donor cornea tissue after the patient underwent a keratoprosthesis implantation. It seems that sarcoidosis is a rare cause of stromal keratitis.
