A case of Pathologic Finding of Reproduction Lens Dislocated into the Anterior Chamber

Abstract

We reported a case of dislocation of Soemmering's ring, which might have been located at peripheral portion behind iris, into the anterior chamber about 20 years after operation for dislocated lens. In pathological examinations, lens bow was recognized around equator area. The arrangement of nuclei around adhesion area of anterior and posterior capsule indicated a formation of lens bow. Moreover, the membrane, which showed the new formation of lens capsule, was recognized around adhesion area. These findings suggest that lens epithelial cells continue to grow and differentiate in the dislocated Soemmering's ring during about 20 years.
