Doctors Baffled: Tooth Grows from Teenager’s Eyelid

In India, a tooth has grown from the eyelid of a 16-year-old teenager. According to reports, the teenager first noticed a painless swelling on his left upper eyelid. Over time, two hard, white, sharp-pointed growths began to emerge from the skin between his eyelid and eyebrow. Specialists at an eye hospital examined the growths using a CT scan, identified them as teeth, and removed them through surgery.

Upon examination, the specialists classified this condition as an "ectopic tooth"—a tooth that has developed outside of its normal location. This unusual medical case was documented by ophthalmologists and published in the journal *Ophthalmology*.
