Bilateral symmetrical epibulbar osseous choristoma.
OBJECTIVE
To report a patient with bilateral symmetrical epibulbar osseous choristoma.


METHODS
Retrospective observational case report.


METHODS
One patient with bilateral symmetrical epibulbar osseous choristoma.


METHODS
Retrospective review of stored office records, photographs, computed tomography (CT), and histopathological findings.


METHODS
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.


CONCLUSIONS
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.
