Purpose: to highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in a case with central and peripheral corneal lesions. Methods: We present the preoperative investigations: anterior segment optical coherence tomography and ultrasound biomicroscopy; The excised cornea has been examined histopathologically. Results: Preoperative assessment showed that peripheral lesion was not ectatic; Histopathological examination points to a possible corneal degeneration, with posttraumatic or infectious etiology for the peripheral lesion and gives some reasons to sustain the diagnosis of Schnyder’s dystrophy for the central lesion. Conclusions: The association of different corneal lesions may need many investigations to establish the diagnosis and choose the most appropriate therapeutic solution.
