    Multiple choroidal osteomas developed in a young girl experiencing orbital inflammation and secondary hyperparathyroidism. Inflammation and potentially sex hormones may contribute to the development of these rare bone tumors.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Endocrinology
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Choroidal osteomas are rare benign bone tumors of the choroid.
    • Their pathogenesis is not fully understood, with potential roles for genetic and hormonal factors.
    • Orbital inflammatory conditions can present with diverse ocular manifestations.

    Observation:

    • A 10-year-old female presented with multiple choroidal osteomas.
    • The patient had a history of recurrent bilateral orbital inflammatory pseudotumor.
    • Associated conditions included mild endophthalmitis and transient secondary hyperparathyroidism.

    Findings:

    • The development of choroidal osteomas coincided with episodes of orbital inflammation.
    • The patient's presentation suggests a potential link between inflammation and osteoma formation.

  • Transient secondary hyperparathyroidism was noted during the inflammatory episodes.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights a potential inflammatory trigger for choroidal osteoma development.
    • The female predominance of choroidal osteomas may involve sex hormone influences.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the interplay of inflammation and hormones in osteoma pathogenesis.
