“…The lesion is unilateral in about 75% of cases. As familial cases have been reported, a hereditary factor cannot be excluded [1,2,6]. The tumor is considered to be a choristoma, although it has not fully been established whether the lesion is congenital [3,7].…”

“…There appears to be no racial predilection and although in most instances their occurrence is sporadic, several cases of a familial development have been reported. [170][171][172] Interestingly, all the familial cases reported to date have been bilateral in origin. Furthermore, three of the seven affected individuals were male; a much higher proportion than occurs in apparently sporadic cases.…”

“…3 In the majority of cases, choroidal osteoma occurs in healthy young females with no history of systemic or ocular disease, although several isolated cases of choroidal osteoma have been reported in association with pregnancy, 13,14 recurrent orbital inflammatory pseudotumour, 15 intraocular inflammation 16 and histiocytosis X. 17 The occurrence of choroidal osteoma has been documented in siblings, 11,18,19 which has led Noble 19 to suggest a hereditary nature of the condition. A congenital cause has also been suggested for the formation of an osseous choristoma.…”

Choroidal osteoma is a rare, benign, ossifying tumour of the choroid of unknown aetiology. In contrast to other types of intraocular ossification, choroidal osteoma is found typically in young healthy females in the second or third decades of life with no history of systemic or ocular disease. Choroidal osteoma is a deep, pale yellow lesion with distinct geographic borders at the juxtapapillary or macular region, with branching 'spider' vessels on the surface of the tumour. These features should help differentiate choroidal osteoma from other types of intraocular tumour and the diagnosis can be confirmed with ultrasonography and computerised tomography. Here we report an initially unilateral case of choroidal osteoma, which decalcified over 20 years but during the same period the fellow eye also developed a choroidal osteoma to become a bilateral case. Despite the benign nature of the tumour, vision may be compromised by gradual atrophy of the overlying retina, serous retinal detachment, accumulation of sub-retinal fluid and sub-retinal haemorrhage associated with choroidal neovascularisation. Frequent examinations are recommended for patients with choroidal osteoma, for early detection of a subretinal neovascular membrane and potential treatment with laser photocoagulation.
