Abstract
Complex corneal choristoma is a rare finding and its relationship with systemic disease is poorly understood. We present a 3-day-old boy with the constellation of left-sided congenital complex corneal choristoma, limbal dermoid, ipsilateral bony skull defects, and bilateral subcutaneous vascularized nodules with overlying alopecia and scalp nevi. To our knowledge this is the first case of complex choristoma involving the presence of associated bony calvarial defects. This presentation may contribute to a greater understanding of the systemic findings associated with the condition. Furthermore, it may shed light on the possible syndromic spectrum associated with complex choristoma and its underlying pathophysiology.
