[Pigmentary corneal and scleral changes in Leschke's syndrome (author's transl)].

A complex of changes including pigmentary changes of tuberous type in the corneal limbus and scleral hyperaemia were observed in a patient with Leschke's syndrome. The small tumour in the corneal limbus was treated surgically with a good result confirmed by 4 years of observation. The histological diagnosis (pigmentary naevus) confirmed the benign character of the pathological process. The possibility of development of pigmentary corneal and scleral changes coexistent with presence of café au lait spots on the skin of the trunk and face and endocrine disturbances is stressed.
