PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to demonstrate the ocular features of organoid nevus syndrome.
METHODS: A 10-day-old male infant was referred for management of retinoblastoma as a result of the presence of intraocular calcification. The examination showed a cutaneous lesion in the midline, epibulbar vascular lesions, and a cutaneous nodule at the lateral canthus. Fundus evaluation showed circumpapillary flat discoloration, which appeared hyperdense on ultrasound.
RESULTS: All these features were consistent with organoid nevus syndrome. The cutaneous lesion was consistent with nevus sebaceous, the epibulbar lesion with choristoma, and the fundus lesion with cartilaginous choristoma.
CONCLUSION: The presence of intraocular calcification often leads to a mistaken diagnosis in organoid nevus syndrome. Appropriate identification is important to diagnose this multisystem disorder.
