Abstract

The most prevalent type of episcleralchoristomas are epibulbardermoids, which are birth abnormalities involving the globe caused by congenital overgrowth of normal tissues by collagenous connective tissue coated with epidermoid epithelium in an inappropriate place. These anomalies can appear on one or both sides, with the bulbar conjunctiva often containing the majority of these abnormalities (>85%). Corneal dermoids are an eye abnormality that can appear at any age, from infancy to maturity. As explained in the section above, they can appear in either the left or right eye and can appear at different locations on the cornea. In cases involving children of all ages, dermoids are more common. The rarest of these, Grade III limbal dermoids, are distinguished by large lesions around the entire cornea. From the front surface of the eyeball to the pigmented epithelium of the iris, conjunctiva, limbus, cornea, and/or caruncles, these lesions penetrate histological tissues. Limbaldermoids frequently cause the cornea to permanently alter, and in these situations, amblyopia may return. Since the tumor distorts the cornea's surface, astigmatism is the most prevalent symptom and can also result in amblyopia. As mentioned in the previous section, they can show up in the right or left eye and at different places on the cornea.
