Epibulbar osseous choristoma with dermolipoma: A case report and review of literature

Abstract: Background: A choristoma is defined as a growth of histologically normal tissue in an abnormal location. Epibulbar osseous choristoma is the rarest type among all ocular choristoma with less than 100 cases reported. Here, we report a case of epibulbar osseous choristoma combined with dermolipoma and a literature review Methods: A 15-year-old female patient presented with an accidentally found subconjunctival mass in her left eye. Slit lamp examination revealed a 10 × 10 mm elevated, sigmoid-shaped mass in th… Show more

“…The ossification was not apparent on imaging, clinical examination, or intraoperatively. This is in contrast to similar reported cases which had more apparent bone being detected through such methods [4‒7]. The initial MRI 2 years prior to re-presentation and debulking showed typical epibulbar dermolipoma morphology with a high T1-weighted fat signal similar to that of subcutaneous fat, rather than orbital fat (Fig.…”

“…This lesion would thus be regarded as an epibulbar complex choristoma containing bone. Similar lesions in the literature have been referred to as epibulbar dermolipoma containing bone, epibulbar osseous choristoma, or similar [4‒7]. In concordance with the latest WHO classification system, epibulbar complex choristoma is the preferred terminology for these lesions.…”
