I had never before seen-one like it, neither is the affection mentioned in Macnamara's book, but Lawson and Wells both, I believe, give it a casual paragraph. It was a case of dermoid tumour on the cornea and sclerotic, being about three lines in diameter, half on the cornea and half on the sclerotic. It was of the sa...

Mutation in PITX2 is associated with ring dermoid of the cornea.

R ing dermoid of the cornea (RDC, MIM180550) is an autosomal dominantly inherited syndrome characterised by bilateral annular limbal dermoids with corneal and conjunctival extension. The genetic basis of RDC is unknown. We report linkage of chromosome 4q24q26 to RDC and identification of a missense mutation in PITX2 in 17 disease affected individuals but not in eight genetically related normal ...

Sutureless Lamellar Corneoscleral Patch Graft With Fibrin Sealant for Limbal Dermoid Removal.

A 2-year-old boy with Goldenhar syndrome had a limbal dermoid removed and covered with a lamellar corneoscleral patch graft that was attached with fibrin glue and no sutures. The graft healed and attached well. A sutureless technique is beneficial due to decreased scarring and chance of infection.
