Abstract

The author reports on the following case: A 46-year-old female patient had an inflammatory lesion of the sclera, similar to an episcleritic nodule, which was treated with cortisone eye drops without success. Because of increasing pigment release in the conjunctiva a malignant neoplasm was suspected. There was no further treatment. After the patient started a treatment of her own in the form of a grape diet without any other source of nourishment her symptoms disappeared.
