abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate a case of isolated pedunculated congenital corneal dermoid.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In a 14-day-old infant, the pedunculated portion of the dermoid was removed and confirmed by histopathologic examination. No surgical complication or recurrence was encountered, and the patient is waiting for a rotational autokeratoplasty.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Prompt treatment of such an unusual tumor is important to allow for visual rehabilitation and development.
