Bone Tumor Diagnosis and Treatments

The authors present a case of choroidal osteoma diagnosed in a 62-year-old male patient. A well-defined and slightly elevated lesion located in the posterior pole of the right eye associated with internal vasculature and choroidal neovascularization at its superior and inferior temporal edge were suspicious of the tumor. Confirmation of diagnosis was obtained with A and B ecography and computed tomography. Optical coherence tomography showed high reflectivity through its thickness as well as elevation of the RPE-choriocapillaris complex at the choroidal neovascularization site. Although the literature and the present case show several different tomographical findings, optical coherence tomography can help establishing the diagnosis of choroidal osteoma.
