Two Cases of Cosmetic Treatment of Limbal Dermoid

Purpose: To report two cases of cosmetic treatment of limbal dermoid, which consist of local excision of the limbal dermoid, corneal tattooing, and amniotic membrane transplantation. Methods: Dermoid excision, corneal tattooing, and amniotic membrane transplantation were carried out in both a girl and a woman who each had a limbal dermoid in their left eyes. Postoperatively, they were followed up for more than six months. Results: No specific complications occurred. The patients were satisfied with the surgical results. After a few months the conjunctiva was found to grow into the tattooed cornea. Conclusions: In the treatment of limbal dermoid, local excision combined with corneal tattooing and amniotic membrane transplantation can be a cosmetically successful alternative choice.
