Phakomatous choristoma of the lower eyelid: a case study with a review of the literature.
We report a case of phakomatous choristoma of the lower eyelid. A 2-week-old girl was referred with a tumor of the right lower eyelid near the inner canthus, present since birth. No other abnormalities were noted. The tumor was excised, and histopathologic examination of the tumor showed phakomatous choristoma of the eyelid. This is the first report of phakomatous choristoma of the eyelid in Turkey.
