INTRODUCTION

This article is purposely detailed in respect to the review and critical consideration of the previously reported cases of dystrophia adiposa corneae, in the hope that it may serve as a reference to those who observe and report this clinical entity in the future. In it we have tried to separate the doubtful cases from acceptable cases. In general, we are of the opinion that the incidence of dystrophia adiposa corneae is much greater than the cases reported to date would indicate, and we believe that many such cases have not been recognized or have been incorrectly diagnosed because the picture obtained by examination with the loupe or slit-lamp is not generally known; few have excised pieces of the pathologic area for chemical and microscopic study ; there has been no previous report of the subject in the English literature.

Footnotes
Dr. E. V. L. Brown states : "This paper was presented by Dr. Katz at the recent meeting of the American Ophthalmological Society at New London, Conn. (June 28, 1932), at the invitation of the Program Committee. Under the rules of the Society, one who is not a member cannot present a paper unless a member's name appears as co-author, and I therefore gladly lent my name. On the other hand, Dr. Delaney did an essential part of the work and now properly appears as co-author with Dr. Katz."
