Eye, Cornea - Cyst

comment:
Corneal epithelial inclusion cysts ( Figure 1

recommendation:
Corneal epithelial inclusion cysts should be diagnosed as "eye, cornea - cyst." This finding should be diagnosed as present without assignment of a severity grade. Any secondary inflammation should not be diagnosed separately (unless warranted by severity), though it should be described in the pathology narrative.references:
