This case highlights the condition in a 4 day old male child who presented with bilateral red eye with mass lesion. Complete evaluation showed conjunctival hyperemia, lipodermoids with corneal vascularisation and healed choroiditis patches OD. Systemic work up revealed ipsilateral nevus psiloliparus, and undescended testis with megalourethra.
