A case of Corneal dermoid
A corneal dermoid is a benign congenital choristoma (growth of microscopically normal tissue in an abnormal location) on the anterior surface of the eye.
It is also called limbal dermoid and epibulbar demoid. It frequently presents as a whitish or yellowish lesion at the corneal limbus, though limbus-sparing dermoids and dermoids involving the entire cornea have been reported.
To further investigate, corneal imaging, including anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) can be conducted to determine the depth and extent of the lesion.
