Case description

Limbal dermoid is a congenital growth on the eye that forms from germline cells that get trapped in this region during embryogenesis. The dermoid often has tissue from multiple germ layers including hair and fat. Dermoids on the eye can cause astigmatism and be unsightly. Removal is typically routine, but requires a surgeon with fellowship training in corneal disease and surgery.
