Conjunctival pigmentation following pars plana vitrectomy.

W E Smiddy, J H Yeo, R G Michels, W R Green.   

Abstract

A 32-year-old white man developed distinctive episcleral and conjunctival pigmentation surrounding a sclerotomy site 6 weeks after vitrectomy and retinal reattachment surgery. The conjunctival lesion was biopsied during a second operation to remove an epiretinal membrane causing macular pucker. Light and electron microscopic studies demonstrated melanin granules extracellularly and within macrophages.
