    The oldest reported cases of bilateral choroidal osteomas were found in two asymptomatic elderly patients. These stable, asymptomatic lesions may be underdiagnosed in older adults.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Choroidal osteomas are rare, benign bone tumors of the choroid.
    • Typically diagnosed in younger individuals, often presenting with visual disturbances.

    Observation:

    • Two elderly patients (71-year-old female, 66-year-old male) presented with asymptomatic, bilateral choroidal osteomas.
    • Both patients maintained normal visual acuity and had minimal observable funduscopic changes.

    Findings:

    • These cases represent the oldest documented instances of choroidal osteoma.
    • The lesions were stable over time with no reported progression or visual impact.

    Implications:

    • The findings suggest a potential underdiagnosis of choroidal osteomas in the elderly population.

  • Asymptomatic, stable lesions with subtle funduscopic findings may be overlooked in routine eye examinations of older individuals.
