Management of extensive epibulbar choristoma associated with microphthalmos: a rare clinical entity.

AbstractIMPORTANCE:
Extensive epibulbar choristomas associated with microphthalmia have rarely been reported. We report 2 cases and describe our experience in the diagnosis and management of this challenging entity.
OBSERVATIONS:
The clinical features, surgical and histopathologic findings, and aesthetic results of surgical treatment were recorded.
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE:
Surgical management of extensive epibulbar choristoma associated with microphthalmos using a simplified method of partial tumor excision and skin grafting can result in improved cosmetic outcomes.
