## TL;DR

This paper describes the diagnosis and surgical treatment of two rare eye conditions in children called subconjunctival choristomas.

## Contribution

The paper presents two rare pediatric cases of osseous choristoma and their surgical management.

## Key findings

- Subconjunctival choristomas can cause eyelid distortion and require surgical intervention.
- Pathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of osseous choristoma in both patients.
- Surgical removal provided effective treatment for the condition.

## Abstract

Choristomas are benign, normal tissues that grow in an abnormal location, with osseous choristomas being the rarest. In this report, we present the diagnosis and treatment of two patients with subconjunctival lesions that extended to the lateral eyelid, causing eyelid distortion. A decision for surgical intervention was made, and pathological analysis was performed, which was most consistent with osseous choristoma. We present the diagnosis, surgical management, and pathological analysis of two of the rarest conditions.
