PURPOSE: To study the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of ocular surface pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia (PEH) associated with chronic vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC).
METHODS: This retrospective study includes 39 eyes of 32 patients with VKC induced PEH who presented from 2016-2022. A database search was conducted for diagnosis of PEH, and data on clinical features, imaging characteristics, and treatment were analyzed.
RESULTS: Of the 32 patients, 11 (34%) were children and adolescents, 21 (66%) were adults. PEH was common in males (72%) and ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) was the commonest referral diagnosis (43.7%). Mean age at presentation was 26.62 ± 10.18 (range: 6-52) years. While history of VKC was present in 21 patients, 11 were diagnosed with VKC at the time of diagnosis of PEH. The mean base/largest diameter was 5.2 ± 1.67 mm. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) showed irregular hyper-reflective epithelium, epithelial dipping, and sub-epithelial hyper-reflective lesion with shadowing in all lesions. Of the 31 eyes that received medical therapy, 21 (67%) and 10 (32%) eyes showed complete and partial resolution respectively with median time to resolution of 3(IQR:2-4) months. Eight eyes that underwent surgical excision showed complete resolution and one developed partial limbal stem cell deficiency.
CONCLUSION: Ocular surface PEH is a manifestation of chronic VKC which closely mimics OSSN. Detailed history-taking, examination for signs of allergy, and AS-OCT imaging can distinguish it from OSSN. It responds well to medical therapy and should be considered first-line therapy before planning any surgical intervention.
