1Corneal and Refractive Surgery Services, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, Boston 02114, USA.
Purpose:
To report the use of ultrasound biomicroscopy in the diagnosis and management of limbal dermoid.
Method:
We used ultrasound biomicroscopy to examine an 18-month-old Asian girl with a congenital limbal mass with corneal extension. A biopsy of the mass was obtained.
Results:
Clinical examination, ultrasound biomicroscopy, and biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of limbal dermoid.
Conclusion:
Ultrasound biomicroscopy may serve as a useful diagnostic adjunct for limbal dermoids. Additionally, it may be helpful in delineating the extent of these lesions.
