| Abstract |
|
Choristoma are tissue masses normally not present at the involved site and can be classified into 4 groups, epidermoid cyst, dermoid cyst, teratoma and ectopic lacrimal gland. Ectopic lacrimal gland is an unusual congenital and developmental abnormality and may be associated with other choristomatous tissues as muscle, nerve, cartilage or various dermal appendages. We have recently experienced a case of ectopic lacrimal gland associated with muscle, fat, nerve, tissue in the lateral side of bulbar conjunctiva in the right eye of a 23 year-old korean girl. |
