Summary
Osseous choristomas, rare benign tumors, require accurate diagnosis. Surgical excision offers a definitive cure for these ocular surface growths.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Oncology
- Pathology
Background:
- Osseous choristoma is an exceptionally rare benign congenital tumor.
- Accurate diagnosis and treatment are crucial despite its benign nature.
Observation:
- Two cases of ocular surface masses were reported: one on the conjunctiva, one on the eyelid.
- Diagnostic imaging revealed calcification and characteristic ultrasound findings.
Findings:
- Histopathological evaluation confirmed osseous choristoma in both patients.
- Surgical excision led to immediate cure in both cases.
Implications:
- Surgical treatment is an effective strategy for osseous choristomas.
- Early diagnosis and intervention can lead to favorable outcomes.
