Three case reports illustrate a manifestation of Terrien's marginal corneal degeneration, the pseudopterygium. When present, the pseudopterygium has a characteristic appearance, which is of diagnostic value. This condition occurs at positions other than the 3- and 9-o'clock positions, and it grows onto the cornea at an oblique axis and has a rather broad, flat, leading edge. The pseudopterygium may appear extremely early in the disease when the marginal furrow may still be a subtle finding.
三例病例报告说明了Terrien边缘性角膜变性的一种表现形式——假性翼状胬肉。当出现时，假性翼状胬肉具有特征性外观，具有诊断价值。这种情况发生在3点和9点位置以外的部位，它以倾斜轴生长到角膜上，前缘相当宽且扁平。假性翼状胬肉可能在疾病极早期就出现，此时边缘沟可能仍是一个细微的表现。
