Orbital melanocytic hamartoma

Am J Ophthalmol. 1981 Mar;91(3):357-61. doi: 10.1016/0002-9394(81)90290-7.

Abstract

A male Chinese neonate had a melanocytic hamartoma that involved the entire orbit and the eye, but did not involve the orbital bones or eyelid skin. Although usually benign, these hamartomas may be locally invasive, and rare cases of malignant transformation have occurred.
