Ectopic lacrimal glands are rare, particularly intraocularly. We present the case of an infant who presented with a fleshy, vascular intraocular lesion and subsequently developed secondary glaucoma. The patient underwent primary enucleation, which was preferred over diagnostic biopsy due to likelihood malignancy poor visual prognosis. Histology confirmed gland choristoma. This highlights challenges in clinical diagnosis lesions, potentially aggressive nature benign tumours such as choristomas.
