title: Epibulbar osseous choristoma: benign pathology simulating an intraorbital foreign body.
abstract: Epibulbar osseous choristomas typically present, in the young, as a supero-temporal subconjunctival nodule and radiographic imaging often shows a densely radio-opaque fleck on the sclera--this often being misinterpreted as a parabulbar foreign body. Four illustrative cases are presented.
