Abstract

Ocular dermoids were recorded in 6-clinical cases. In two cases of them, the dermoid masses were recorded unilaterally and confined to the conjunctiva alone. The other four cases were recorded bilaterally in Freisian calves and has been observed involving different proportions of the anterior segment surface of the eyeball (cornea, bulbar conjunctiva, and 3rd eyelid). The dermoid masses were excised surgically by conjunctivectomy (for conjunctival dermoids) and superficial keratectomy (for corneo-conjunctival dermoids). +
