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.
MethodsDermoid 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.
ResultsNo 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.
ConclusionsIn the treatment of limbal dermoid, local excision combined with corneal tattooing and amniotic membrane transplantation can be a cosmetically successful alternative choice.
