A rare case of a single temporal pterygium is reported. The etiology of pterygium and its predilection for the nasal side is discussed. A hypothesis is presented to explain why a pterygium never extends beyond the center of the cornea. Whenever a single temporal pterygium is noted it should be excised to determine the true nature of the lesion.
报告了一例罕见的单眼颞侧翼状胬肉病例。讨论了翼状胬肉的病因及其好发于鼻侧的原因。提出了一个假说来解释为什么翼状胬肉从不延伸超过角膜中心。一旦发现单眼颞侧翼状胬肉，应将其切除以确定病变的真正性质。
