ABSTRACT

Introduction: Epibulbar choristomas are benign tumors derived from tissue not normally present in the tumor’s location. They can be: 1) dermoids, which are made of connective tissue covered with epidermis; 2) lipodermoids, which in addition contain adipose tissue; 3) complex choristomas that contain tissues of different origins. Usually lesions are solid, white, yellow or pink and vary from small flat lesions at the limbus to large masses that cover most of the interpalpebral area.
They can be isolated lesions or associated with genetic syndromes, the most common being Goldenhar syndrome.
Objective: To present different examples of syndromes associated with epibulbar choristomas such as Goldenhar, nevus sebaceous of Jadassohn, facial clefts and aplasia cutis congenita with dermoids.
Conclusions: It is necessary, in every patient with an epibulbar choristoma, to have a systemic evaluation in order to diagnose uncommon genetic syndromes different from Goldenhar.
