Abstract

Purpose: To present the case of a 20-year-old female with an epibulbar osseous choristoma.

Observations: In this case study, a 20-year-old girl with an epibulbar osseous choristoma is described. The patient's right eye's superotemporal quadrant had a firm, white subconjunctival tumor. Under topical aneasthesia, she had the mass' removal and biopsy performed. The osseous tissue in the pathologic sections had heterthrophic osseous tissues.

Conclusions and Importance: In conclusion, this report presents a case of a very rare conjunctival tumor. In asymptomatic patients with tiny, stable lesions, it may be constantly monitored; nevertheless, if there are signs of growth or new symptoms, cautious surgical excision may be required. We decided to perform surgical excision of the mass because the patient complained of discomfort, which effectively eliminated this symptom.
