“…In one of these works, in a clinical survey done by Shields and co-authors, in 1643 conjunctival lesions it was possible to identify 5% of osseous choristoma cases out of all choristomas, which was present in 1% of all the studied conjunctival lesions [ 17 ]. Osseous choristomas are usually unilateral, however, bilateral cases were also reported, and moreover they can also be associated with systemic diseases, although not the majority of the cases [ 6 , 18 , 19 ].…”

Materials and methodsA retrospective cohort study of cases with tissue diagnosis of epibulbar choristoma in 2 centers presenting during the period: 2000–2016 with focus on cases of complex and osseous choristoma. Demographic and clinical data were collected by the resident from medical records. The histopathological slides were reviewed by 2 pathologists and cases of complex and osseous choristoma were analyzed by biostatical staff.Results120 epibulbar choristomas were identified. 13/120 patients (10.8%) with complex choristoma and 2/120 patients (1.7%) with osseous choristoma. 15 cases were further analyzed: 7 were males and 8 were females. Mean age at presentation was 7.6 year. Commonest location was temporal in 66.6%. The presence of smooth muscle component was associated with a larger size choristoma (p = 0.042). 73.3% had other ophthalmic manifestations (mostly eyelid anomalies) while 9 systemic associations (mostly Goldenhar's syndrome) were found in 8/13 cases of complex choristoma.ConclusionEpibulbar complex and osseous choristomas are rare. Histopathologically, the presence of smooth muscle significantly correlates with the lesion size. Complex choristoma is more likely to be associated with systemic manifestations. Further genetic studies for this condition are recommended.

Linear nevus sebaceous syndrome (LNSS) is characterized by nevus sebaceous, mental retardation, seizures, and ocular abnormalities such as complex limbal choistoma. A young male with history of mass in right eye and blackish discoloration of skin over right and left side of forehead since birth presented with foreign body sensation and diminished vision in right eye. Ocular examination showed mass over epibulbar region with chorioretinal coloboma and posterior staphyloma in right eye and megalocornea in left eye. Histopathology report revealed complex limbal choristoma with compound melanocytic nevus. The case was managed by surgical excision of the limbal mass and filling the gap with scleral graft.

Epibulbar osseous choristomas are rare congenital simple choristomas consisting of pure bone on the sclera. It is usually recognized in childhood and most often located in the superotemporal quadrant. A case of 7-year-old male who presented with a history of mass in the left eye was reported in this paper. The mass had been present since birth but had showed slight enlargement during the last 6 months. Examination revealed a 7 × 5 mm reddish, hard, and mobile mass located in the superotemporal quadrant. Excisional biopsy was done. On histopathological examination, excised mass was found to be composed of mature bony trabeculae enclosing osteocytes, and diagnosis of epibulbar osseous choristoma was made.
