Abstract:
Complex choristoma with a predominance of lacrimal gland tissue is known as unusual congenital and developmental abnormality. Several cases of ectopic lacrimal gland have been reported in Korea. But complex choristoma with ectopic lacrimal gland on both eyes has never been reported. The authors have experienced a case of complex choristoma with ectopic lacrimal gland in lower and lateral quadrant of bulbar conjuntiva on both eyes in a 12-year-old boy.
