Abstract (original English)

Corneal dermoid is a congenital benign tumor and ocular malformation, often diagnosed at birth or in early childhood. Its treatment and long-term prognosis remain under-researched, necessitating further investigation. This study aims to investigate the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of corneal dermoid, evaluate the efficacy of different surgical methods, and identify factors influencing treatment outcomes. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 58 patients treated for corneal dermoid at our hospital from 2017 to 2021. Patients' demographic information, tumor characteristics, surgical methods, and postoperative outcomes were collected and analyzed. Descriptive statistics, independent sample t -test, chi-square ( χ 2 ) test, and Spearman correlation analysis were used to evaluate the distribution characteristics and intergroup differences of corneal dermoid. The average age of the patients was 6.3 years, with 55.2% being male and 44.8% female. The right eye was affected in 63.8% of cases, with the temporal limbus being the most common site (75.9%). Pathological examination revealed tumors covered by squamous epithelium, containing hair follicles, sebaceous glands, adipose tissue, and fibrous tissue; some cases also had cartilage and glandular tissue. Surgical methods included corneal dermoid excision (100%), lamellar keratoplasty (37.9%), amn
