摘要：

An 81-year-old man with metastatic prostate carcinoma underwent a penetrating keratoplasty for phlyctenular keratitis. Two years later he developed a fleshy, vascular mass in the superotemporal corneal graft wound, at the site of prior graft sutures. An excisional biopsy of the mass was performed to rule out metastatic carcinoma. Histopathological findings were consistent with pyogenic granuloma. To our knowledge there have been no prior case reports illustrating pyogenic granuloma as a late complication of penetrating keratoplasty.
