ATYPICAL PRESENTATION OF A DIFFUSE LIMBAL DERMOID
Keywords:
Dermoid, limbal, orbit, choristoma
Abstract
Limbal dermoids are benign congenital tumors that contain choristomatous tissue. They remain localized mostly to the superficial layers of the cornea and sclera. Here we report a case of a 20-year-old female patient with a deep, diffuse limbal dermoid. However, the patient had no squint, diplopia, or proptosis, or amblyopia. The patient had no other systemic association. This peculiar and atypical presentation of a limbal dermoid is rare.
