Management of extensive epibulbar choristoma associated with microphthalmos: a rare clinical entity.
OBJECTIVE
Extensive epibulbar choristomas associated with microphthalmia have rarely been reported. We report 2 cases and describe our experience in the diagnosis and management of this challenging entity.


METHODS
The clinical features, surgical and histopathologic findings, and aesthetic results of surgical treatment were recorded.


CONCLUSIONS
Surgical management of extensive epibulbar choristoma associated with microphthalmos using a simplified method of partial tumor excision and skin grafting can result in improved cosmetic outcomes.
