A Case of Congenital Limbal Dermoid Cyst

ABSTRACT

dermoids are unusual congenital anomalies consisting of abnormal mesoblastic tissue covered by epithelium. They usually start at limbal region and extend centrally. The authors have experienced a case of congenital limbal dermoid cyst which is not associated with other anomalies in a 17 year old male. Cyst was locally excised with no significant difficulties and it was histologically typical. Authors review the literature dealing with dermoid cyst and clinical finding.
