INTRODUCTION We report a rare case of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) that developed into an orbital inflammation in an adult. CASE PRESENTATION A 67-year-old Korean man, who had been diagnosed with EKC and treated for conjunctival injection and chemosis in the right eye for 4 days, was referred to Oculoplastics as orbital cellulitis was suspected. At the point of referral, clinical featu...

BACKGROUND Ocular melanoma is a rare but often deadly malignancy that arises in the uvea, conjunctiva, or orbit. Uveal melanoma is the most common type, with conjunctival melanoma being the second most frequently observed. Melanoma accounts for 5-10% of metastatic or secondary orbital malignancies, but only a minute proportion of primary orbital neoplasia. The aim of this study was to character...

Aneurysmal bone cyst is a benign fibro-osseous lesion usually described in the long bones. Intraorbital aneurysmal bone cyst is a rare clinical entity with an entirely different outcome and prognosis as compared to the usual pediatric orbital tumors. The authors report magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of an orbital mass lesion in a 4-year-old child who presented with painless proptosis...

Three middle-aged male patients had painless superior temporal orbital tumor causing globe displacement. Roentgenograms revealed superior temporal orbital tumor with lysis of bone. Surgical excision and curettage completely removed the lesions, which extended from the frontal bone to the periorbita and the dura. Histologically, these were cystic lesions containing a granulomatous reaction to bl...

A blood cyst of the orbit is an unusual cause of proptosis and most likely arises in a pre-existing haemangioma. If the cyst occurs at the apex of the orbit the blood should be aspirated. This is followed by excision of the cyst wall, the dissection being done with the aid of an operating microscope. If there is evidence of intracranial connection of the blood cyst, namely, splayed superior orb...

The authors want to highlight the importance of clinical, radiological and histopathological evaluation in unilateral proptosis. A 17-yearold male presented with left progressive nonpulsatile proptosis, lateral gaze diplopia and decreased visual acuity. It was diagnosed as orbital hydatid cyst on CT scan and MRI. The patient was successfully operated with near total recovery of the vision. Radi...

Introduction: colobomatous cyst is one of the rare orbital cystic lesions that have wide range of differential diagnosis. It is a congenital lesion that can be easily misdiagnosed as malignant tumor, leading to exposing the patient to unnecessarily overtreatment. case report: this is a rare case of congenital colobomatous cyst in an infant girl. the cyst was associated with a microphthalmic glo...

erally, involvement of the surgical margin by tumor cells on histopathologic examination is an indication to repeated surgical resection with wider margins, especially in immunosuppressed patients. In summary, we described a 56year-old patient with liver transplantation who developed aggressive conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma that invaded the brain and led to death despite orbital exentera...
