Anterior segment epibulbar choristoma containing brain tissue and with aphakia.
We report an unusual case of an epibulbar choristoma in a neonate born with a mass arising from the cornea. Radiologic examination showed focal corneal bulge with absence of the lens. Histologic study revealed the lesion was an epibulbar choristoma composed of only brain tissue.
