Abstract
Choristomas are rare tumors, commonly occurring in the head and neck region. These are defined as the presence of normal tissues, such as muscle, bone, cartilage, dermal appendages, and epidermal components, in abnormal locations. They are mostly seen in the pediatric population. Occurrence in the adult population is fairly rare. Ocular choristomas comprise a substantial portion of all conjunctival and corneal tumors. These are the most common types of epibulbar and orbital tumors in children. Rarely, they may present as a growth in the eyelid region. The authors present one such rare case of eyelid choristoma masquerading as a chalazion, in an elderly patient. The patient presented with an eyelid mass, initially diagnosed as a Chalazion. The mass was excised and sent for histopathological evaluation, which revealed fibrocartilagenous tissue, suggesting a choristoma. The patient was followed up for a period of six months, without any recurrence.
