- Abstract
- Background: Lacrimal gland choristoma manifesting in the ciliary body is quite rare. We report a case of lacrimal gland choristoma manifesting in the ciliary body, coupled with orbital cellulites, in an infant. Case: A 10-month-old female infant with swelling and tenderness of the right upper eyelid. Observations: The results of ophthalmic examinations of the patient were consistent with orbital cellulitis. During the funduscopic examination, a fleshy mass was incidentally detected at the superotemporal portion of the ciliary body in the right eye. A local resection of the lesion was carried out. The results of a pathologic examination showed lacrimal gland choristoma of the ciliary body that was accompanied by an epithelia-lined cyst. The patient has had no hypotonia or enlargement of the lesion for 1 year after surgery. Conclusion: Lacrimal gland choristoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of a ciliary body mass in pediatric patients.
