INTRODUCTION Choroidal osteoma is a rare benign ossifying tumor characterized by mature cancellous bone involving the choroid. It is an often unilateral condition that affects the juxtapapillary and macular areas of young females.

31-32 Benign Neoplasm of Choroid. A choroidal nevus is a benign melanocytic lesion of the posterior uveal tract.
ICD-10-CM Code for Calcinosis cutis L94. 2.
A choroidal nevus (or benign neoplasm of the choroid) is a grayish-brown pigmented lesion. with slightly blurred margins. A choroidal nevus is similar to a large freckle or mole found on the skin.
Thickness: Lesions greater than 2 mm; Fluid: Signs of subretinal fluid suggestive of retinal detachment; Symptoms: Symptoms of photopsia or vision loss; Orange pigment: Lipofuscin is a marker for cell destruction in the retina; and.
A choroidal nevus (plural: nevi) is typically a darkly pigmented lesion found in the back of the eye. It is similar to a freckle or mole found on the skin and arises from the pigment-containing cells in the choroid, the layer of the eye just under the white outer wall (sclera).
An osteoma is a new piece of bone usually growing on another piece of bone, typically the skull. When the bone tumor grows on other bone it is known as “homoplastic osteoma”; when it grows on other tissue it is called “heteroplastic osteoma”.
Osteomas are benign head tumors made of bone. They're usually found in the head or skull, but they can also be found in the neck.
Osteoma cutis or cutaneous ossification is a rare and benign dermatological disease characterized by bone formation in the dermis or subcutaneous tissue. The management of osteoma cutis is complex, and new approaches have been introduced.
A choroidal nevus is a flat, benign pigmented area that appears in the back of the eye and is basically an eye freckle. If your doctor refers to a lesion in your eye that needs to be tracked, she is most likely talking about a choroidal nevus.
Choroidal nevi and choroidal melanoma can show several overlapping features, including tumor size; color, which may be either pigmented or nonpigmented; location; associated dormant features, such as overlying retinal pigment epithelial alterations and drusen; and suspicious features, including subretinal fluid and ...
Choroidal hemangioma is an uncommon benign vascular tumor of the choroid that can be circumscribed or diffuse. Circumscribed choroidal hemangiomas are usually diagnosed between the second to fourth decade of life when they cause visual disturbances owing to the development of an exudative retinal detachment.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm. Morphology [Histology] Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, ...
For multiple neoplasms of the same site that are not contiguous, such as tumors in different quadrants of the same breast, codes for each site should be assigned. Malignant neoplasm of ectopic tissue. Malignant neoplasms of ectopic tissue are to be coded to the site mentioned, e.g., ectopic pancreatic malignant neoplasms are coded to pancreas, ...
Choroidal osteoma is a benign ossifying tumor with mature bone replacing choroid. It is commonly juxtapapillary or peripapillary, but may extend to the macula. It is rare that it would be found only in the macula. It is yellow-white to orange-red in color with clumping of brown, orange, or gray pigment. The shape is commonly oval or round with well defined scalloped or geographic margins. Occasionally decalcification can occur and is characterized by thin, atrophic, yellow-gray regions with associated RPE atrophy. Decalcification can occur spontaneously or as a result of laser photocoagulation or photodynamic therapy (PDT). Choroidal neovascular membranes (CNVM) can also develop.
Choroidal osteoma was first described at the 1975 Meeting of Verhoeff Society. The case was that of a healthy 26 year old female patient who presented with paracentral scotoma and visual acuity of 20/20 in the both eyes.
Factors implicated in its development, however, include inflammation, trauma, hormonal state, calcium metabolism, environment, and heredity. None of these factors appear to be either a sole, or an established, factor in causing patients to develop the condition. For instance, the hormonal hypothesis does not explain why males are affected by the condition or why these lesions can be observed in pre-pubertal patients. It has been postulated that choroidal osteoma is a choristoma (i.e., normal tissue arising at an abnormal location), but this explanation begs the question of why females are affected more frequently than males and why there is continuous development and growth of the lesion in adulthood. No consistency has been established with serum calcium, phosphate, or alkaline phosphatase levels.
Asymptomatic or stable choroidal osteoma can be observed. #N#For CNVM, surgical removal and PDT have been used in the past, as well as laser treatment .More recently, anti-VEGF treatments such an intravitreal ranibizumab and bevacizumab have been employed with success.#N#It has been shown that the margins of the choroidal osteoma that are decalcified have no tumor growth and display the stabilization of the tumor scar. Therefore, it has been proposed for the calcified extrafoveal osteoma, to use PDT at the edges to decalcify the tumor and prevent its growth and foveal involvement.
Choroidal osteoma can be seen on X-ray or CT scan – currently these modalities are rarely used for this condition Choroidal osteoma appear hypointense in bothT1 and T2 weighted MRI images. Pathology shows dense bony trabeculae with intertrabecular marrow and narrowed choriocapillaris.
Choroidal osteoma is more commonly unilateral, but bilateral disease has been observed and the second eye can be affected later than the first one. The condition affects females more than males and typically first manifests in the teenage years or in the early twenties. No risk factors have been identified.
