Abstract
Extensive epibulbar choristomas associated with microphthalmia have rarely been reported. We report 2 cases and describe our experience in the diagnosis and management of this challenging entity. The clinical features, surgical and histopathologic findings, and aesthetic results of surgical treatment were recorded. Surgical management of extensive epibulbar choristoma associated with microphthalmos using a simplified method of partial tumor excision and skin grafting can result in improved cosmetic outcomes.
