Diffuse orbital lymphangioma presents significant surgical challenges. This case highlights the difficulties in managing this rare vascular tumor, even with multiple interventions.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Pediatric Oncology

Background:

  • Orbital lymphangiomas are benign vascular tumors that can cause significant morbidity.
  • The diffuse subtype poses unique challenges due to its infiltrative nature and potential for recurrence.

Observation:

  • A 6-year-old girl presented with unilateral recurrent proptosis due to a diffuse orbital lymphangioma.
  • Imaging revealed a vascular mass, leading to initial incomplete surgical excision.

Findings:

  • The tumor recurred three times, necessitating three reoperations.
  • Pathologic analysis confirmed the diagnosis of lymphangioma, despite incomplete tumor removal and persistent proptosis reduction.

Implications:

  • Diffuse orbital lymphangiomas are challenging to treat surgically due to local spread and high recurrence rates.
  • Multidisciplinary management may be required for optimal outcomes in complex orbital vascular tumors.
