| Abstract;Purpose: The incidence of inclusion cysts was examined histopathologically in conjunctival disorders where inflammatory cell infiltration was seen in the subepithelial connective tissue. Method: The incidence of inclusion cysts was examined histopathologically in pterygium, vernal conjunctivitis, pyogenic granuloma and pingueculitis. The specimens of pinguecula were used as control. Results: Inclusion cysts were recognized in 5/55 cases of pterygium, 2/12 cases of vernal conjunctivitis, 1/4 cases of pyogenic granuloma, and 1/2 cases of pingueculitis. On the other hand no inclusion cyst was recognized in 20 cases of pinguecula in which no inflammatory cell infiltration was seen. Conclusions: Inflammatory cell infiltration may contribute to the formation of conjunctival inclusion cysts in pterygium, pingueculitis, vernal conjunctivitis and pyogenic granuloma. (author abst.) |
