Bilateral Epibulbar Dermolipomas in a Patient With Goldenhar Syndrome

A 19-year-old woman consulted for bilateral superotemporal conjunctival lesions that had been present since birth. Physical examination also revealed hemifacial microsomia and bilateral auricular appendages. Medical history included heart, hearing, and neurologic problems. Excision biopsy of these lesions showed nodular proliferations of adipose tissue, which corresponded to the diagnosis of dermolipomas in the setting of Goldenhar syndrome. Complete examination for other first and second branchial arch anomalies is warranted in patients presenting with such lesions.
