A rare orbital chondroma, a benign bone tumor, was diagnosed in a 9-year-old boy presenting with left eye ptosis. Surgical removal was successful, highlighting chondroma

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology and Otorhinolaryngology
  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Orbital masses can present with diverse clinical manifestations, including visual disturbances and eyelid abnormalities.
  • Chondromas are rare, benign cartilaginous tumors that infrequently occur in the orbit, posing diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A 9-year-old male presented with progressive ptosis affecting his left eye.
  • Imaging studies (CT and MRI) identified a well-defined mass in the superonasal orbital region.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision via anterior orbitotomy achieved complete removal of the orbital mass.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a pure chondroma.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering rare tumors like chondroma in the differential diagnosis of pediatric orbital masses.
  • Early detection and complete surgical resection are crucial for favorable outcomes in orbital chondroma cases.
