Cornea and iris from a 58-year-old man with posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy were examined by light and electron microscopy. The patient is the son of a woman who was reported previously to have Chandler's syndrome. Clinicopathologic features in the two diseases are discussed in light of controversies surrounding their differential diagnosis.
