Abstract
- Purpose
To report two cases of epibulbar osseous choristoma and a review of the literature.
Case summary
A 26-year-old male and a 50-year-old female without any past medical history or history of ocular trauma were referred to our clinic due to an incidental epibulbar mass. The masses were located in superotemporal subconjunctiva and inferotemporal subconjunctiva, respectively, and excisional biopsies were performed. The masses revealed epibulbar osseous choristoma. There was no recurrence of disease or postoperative complication.
Conclusions
When asymptomatic subconjunctival or an extraocular mass especially located at the temporal side is found, epibulbar osseous choristoma should always be considered.
