Choroidal osteoma (CO) is a rare, benign, and usually unilateral intraocular tumor composed of mature bone affecting the choroid. It appears as slightly elevated, yellowish-white, or orange choroidal mass with well-defined borders. It is commonly encountered in young female adults. Here, we report findings of a 4-week-old premature baby with CO in her left eye which was detected during a routine examination for "retinopathy of prematurity." We believe that this case is the youngest patient reported with CO which showing that this pathology can be encountered even in a newborn.
脉络膜骨瘤 (CO) 是一种罕见的良性、通常为单侧的眼内肿瘤，由成熟的骨组织构成，影响脉络膜。它表现为略微隆起的、淡黄色或橙黄色的脉络膜肿块，边界清晰。它常见于年轻成年女性。在此，我们报告了一例在例行早产儿视网膜病变检查中发现左眼患有 CO 的 4 周龄早产儿的发现。我们认为该病例是报道的患有 CO 的年龄最小的患者，表明即使在新生儿中也可能发生这种病变。
