We report the case of an uncomplicated choroidal osteoma in a 27-year-old woman, with no medical history, presented to our department with sudden onset visual loss in her right eye (RE). Opthalmological evaluation revealed a best corrected visual acuity of 4/10 and normal anterior segment in the RE. Fundus examination revealed a slightly elevated, round shaped, yellowish-orange coloured lesion.   Choroidal osteoma is a rare and benign ossifying tumor, affecting mostly Caucasian females, in early twenties. This affection is often unilateral, occurring in an apparently healthy eye. It is generally located in juxta or peri-papillary areas. Diagnosis is based on clinical examination, aided by multimodal imaging, including optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT-angiography and ultrasonography. Choroidal neovascularisation represents its main complication.
