  • Title: Bilateral symmetrical epibulbar osseous choristoma.
    Author: Kim BJ, Kazim M.
    Journal: Ophthalmology; 2006 Mar; 113(3):456-8. PubMed ID: 16513460.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To report a patient with bilateral symmetrical epibulbar osseous choristoma. DESIGN: Retrospective observational case report. PARTICIPANT: One patient with bilateral symmetrical epibulbar osseous choristoma. METHOD: Retrospective review of stored office records, photographs, computed tomography (CT), and histopathological findings. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Appearance of the choristoma, CT, and histopathological findings. RESULTS: 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. CONCLUSION: 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.
