A Case of Rare Choroidal Tumor, Choroidal Osteoma

ABSTRACT Choroidal osteoma is a rare benign tumor of unknown etiology, commonly found in young asymptomatic females in their second or third decade of life. It typically appears as an orange-yellow to yellow-white lesion in juxtapapillary region which can extend over to involve macula. Lesion solely located in macular region is less common. Diagnosis is based on fundoscopic appearance and findings of ancillary tests like B scan ultrasonography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and computerized tomography (CT) scan. We report a case of unilateral macular choroidal osteoma in a fifteen-year-old girl with normal vision. KEY WORDS Benign tumor, Choroidal osteoma, Macula
