title: Choroidal osteoma. Clinical characteristics and long-term follow-up of five cases.
abstract: We studied the clinical characteristics and long-term follow-up of 5 patients with choroidal osteoma. All the patients but one were female. The choroidal lesions were unilateral in 3 patients and bilateral in 2. During the follow-up, the lesions enlarged somewhat, but the progression was very slow and inconspicuous. Clinical diagnosis and treatment are briefly discussed.
