Abstract
To report a patient with bilateral symmetrical epibulbar osseous choristoma. Retrospective observational case report. One patient with bilateral symmetrical epibulbar osseous choristoma. Retrospective review of stored office records, photographs, computed tomography (CT), and histopathological findings. Appearance of the choristoma, CT, and histopathological findings. A 6-year-old female had bilateral superotemporal subconjunctival masses. Surgical excision was performed bilaterally. The lesions were encapsulated and attached to the sclera, and consisted histopathologically of epibulbar osseous choristoma. We report the first case of bilateral symmetrical epibulbar osseous choristoma without other associated choristomas. Preoperative CT imaging is helpful in assessing the extent of the tumor and planning surgery.
