چکیده
ORBITAL teratoma is an exceedingly rare congenital neoplasm, there being only one other case previously reported from India (Kirwan, 1935). Only sixteen other cases, fourteen reported by Duke-Elder (1952), one by Kamel (1954), and one by Girard, Fountain, Moore, and Thomas (1958), have been found in the literature. The following case is therefore of interest because of the extreme rarity of this tumour.
