Description
An Epibulbar dermoid is a congenital condition which usually affects one eye but which can, on rare occasions, affect both eyes. It appears as a fleshy area on the eyeball which is usually hairy and pigmented. Most often they develop on the cornea next to the lateral limbus, but they can involve the conjunctiva (most often the palpebral conjunctiva) and they are sometimes associated with another defect - coloboma of the eyelid.
