Abstract

The case of a 14-year-old girl found to have a unique epibulbar osseous choristoma attached to the sheath of the superior rectus muscle is recorded. The bony mass was palpable through the upper lid and by computerized tomography, it appeared densely calcified and noncystic. There was no ptosis or abnormality in ocular motility preoperatively or postoperatively.
