Corneal dermoid (Figure) is a congenital benign tumor and ocular malformation(1) generally classified into three grades of severity(2), with the most common site being the right eye’s temporal limbus(1). Corneal dermoid can result in visual impairment, restricted eye movement, and facial asymmetry(1). Pathological features include squamous epithelium coverage, hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and adipose and fibrous tissue(1). Surgery is effective(1), although complications include persistent epithelial defects and peripheral corneal vascularization and opacity(2).
