Thendral Ponnudurai, Sophia Louisraj, Amjad Salman Cornea Department, Institute of Ophthalmology, Joseph Eye Hospital, Trichy, Tamilnadu, India Abstract: We present a case of a 15-year-old girl with an epibulbar osseous choristoma. The patient presented with a 3×3 mm, whitish, firm subconjunctival mass in the superotemporal quadrant of her right eye with vascularization. She underwent excision biopsy of the mass under topical anesthesia. The pathologic sections were consistent with a well-circumscribed osseous tissue without atypia. Osseous choristoma is one of the rare types of ocular choristoma to be considered in the differential diagnosis of pediatric epibulbar tumors.
