Abstract
To report the use of ultrasound biomicroscopy in the diagnosis and management of limbal dermoid. We used ultrasound biomicroscopy to examine an 18-month-old Asian girl with a congenital limbal mass with corneal extension. A biopsy of the mass was obtained. Clinical examination, ultrasound biomicroscopy, and biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of limbal dermoid. Ultrasound biomicroscopy may serve as a useful diagnostic adjunct for limbal dermoids. Additionally, it may be helpful in delineating the extent of these lesions.
