ALFONSO SANCHEZ, Osbel  y  QUIGNON SANTANA, Sandra. Conjunctival Dermoid Tumor. A Case Report. Medisur [online]. 2014, vol.12, n.2, pp. 431-436. ISSN 1727-897X.

Conjunctival choristomas are rare benign lesions; however, they are the most common conjunctival tumors in children. The case of a 16-year-old Chinese male patient, treated at the Cuba-China Friendship Eye Center in the city of Xining, by a Cuban doctor is presented. The reason for attendance was eye discomfort and redness. A yellowish vascularized mass, about 5 mm, located in the inferotemporal limbus of the right eye was found on physical examination. A córneoconjuntival dermoid tumor was diagnosed and it was decided to perform surgery. The case is presented given the rarity of this entity in our field.

Palabras clave : dermoid cyst; choristoma; conjunctival neoplasms; cornea; case reports.
