    A rare epibulbar osseous choristoma, a benign tumor containing bone, was diagnosed in a 14-year-old girl. This case highlights the importance of radiographic and histopathological confirmation for accurate diagnosis and management.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pathology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Epibulbar osseous choristomas are rare congenital tumors.
    • They present as firm, movable masses on the surface of the eye.
    • Diagnosis often requires a combination of clinical, radiographic, and histopathological evaluation.

    Observation:

    • A 14-year-old female presented with a firm, movable epibulbar mass on her right eye.
    • The mass's clinical appearance was highly suggestive of an osseous choristoma.
    • Radiographic imaging and subsequent histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis.

    Findings:

    • Histopathological analysis revealed the presence of mature bone within the epibulbar mass.
    • The tumor was characterized as an epibulbar osseous choristoma.

  • The review covers clinical features, diagnostic methods, and treatment strategies for this condition.

    • Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of epibulbar osseous choristomas is crucial for appropriate management.
    • Surgical excision is the primary treatment modality.
    • Understanding the histopathology aids in differentiating from other epibulbar lesions and guiding prognosis.
