Abstract

A 67-year old patient presented with persistent wound dehiscence after evisceration. The scleral shell and the implant were removed. The histopathological and immunohistochemical examination of the tumor revealed epithelial ingrowth and infection of the implant. Even if the intervention is known since the 16th century, technics and materials are still undergoing improvements and discussions. Incarceration or tension on the suture should be avoided in order to prevent secondary complications.
