PURPOSE:: To report 2 patients with progressive complex choristomas and to review the literature on this subject. DESIGN:: Interventional case reports. METHODS:: Clinical and pathologic correlation was performed on 2 patients with progressive epibulbar choristomas. PubMed database was searched to identify all the previously reported cases of progressive epibulbar choristomas (using key words choristoma, dermoid, growth, progression, and evolution). RESULTS:: Growth of the epibulbar choristomas was noted in infancy in 1 patient with oculoectodermal syndrome and in puberty in another otherwise healthy patient. Both lesions were identified histopathologically as complex choristomas. In addition to the characteristic choristomatous tissues, both lesions demonstrated increased vascularity, inflammatory infiltrate, and fibroblast proliferation within myxomatous stroma. Review of the literature identified 4 patients with progressive complex choristomas, 1 of whom demonstrated histopathologic findings similar to those of the 2 cases reported here. CONCLUSIONS:: Epibulbar choristomas rarely enlarge, likely secondary to reactive changes within the tissue manifested by increased vascularity, inflammatory cell infiltration, and fibroblast proliferation with deposition of myxomatous stroma. |
