Abstract
A family with pterygium affecting 11 members of 3 generations was reported. Although the disease is not necessarily hereditary in most of the patients, the mode of transmission in this particular family was autosomal dominant. The relationship between individual predisposition and the external factors in pterygium formation is briefly discussed.Entities:
