title: Giant Ocular Horn Occurring in a 10-Year-Old Female.
abstract: Cutaneous horns uncommonly involve the periocular region. Involvement of the ocular surface is particularly rare. The authors present a patient who underwent a perinatal buccal mucosal graft for corneal perforation due to congenital corneal ectasia, most likely resulting from Peters anomaly. She developed a giant ocular horn 10 years later.
