Abstract
Epibulbar dermoids are congenital choristomas consisting of tissue from ectodermal and mesodermal derivatives. They present as slow-growing, minimally vascularized, smooth, yellowish-white bulbous lesions (Figure 26-1). They are most commonly found in the bulbar conjunctiva and limbus and less frequently in the cornea, caruncle, and palpebral conjunctiva. 1 They typically grow as a child matures and have no malignant potential.
