Q

Common congenital lesions that posess little growth potential. Contains both dermal and epithelial elements that are not normally found in the conjunctiva. Includes solid limbal dermoid, dermolipoma, and complex type

A

Choristomas

17
Q

Compact, pale yellow growths that typically occur unilaterally at the inferotemporal limbus. superficial with minimal involvement of cornea and sclera. Histologic examination reveals a thick collagenous lesion containing hair, sweat glands, fat, sebaceous glands, bone tissue.
1, name
2. Treatment

A
  1. Solid Limbal Dermoids

2. Excision and reconstruction with corneal penetration

18
Q

Choristoma with Less density than solid Dermolipoma and contains more ADIPOSE (fatty) tissue, TRUE CHORISTOMAS - FATTY TISSUE usually not found anterior to the orbital septum. Superior temporal bulbar conjunctiva b/w SR and LR insertion most common.

  1. Name
  2. Treatment
A
  1. Dermolipoma
  2. Surgery not required since the extension of the growth does not limit function, restricted to partial resection to anterior portion of tumor
19
Q

Syndrome - oculoauriculovertebral dysplasia - bilateral limbal dermoids or dermolipomas, unilateral coloboma (congenital malformation) of upper lid and aniridia. Preauricular skin tags instead of ears, hypoplasia of facial bones, vertebral anomalies.

A

Goldenhar’s Syndrome

20
Q

Variable combinations of ectopic tissues, lesions resemble dermoids and lipodermoids but are FLESHY and VASCULARIZED. ACINAR elements form the majority of the tumor - ectopic lacrimal gland components. Invades globe deeply. Malignancy is rare.

  1. Name
  2. tx
A
  1. Complex Choristoma

2. Surgical Excision is rare because it invades deeply into the globe
