A large orbital lipoma was successfully removed without visual disturbance. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of orbital lipomas and the utility of computed tomography scanning.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Orbital lipomas are rare benign tumors.
  • Diagnosis can be challenging, often confused with dermoid cysts.
  • Large orbital lipomas with muscle cone extension are uncommon.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a case of a large orbital lipoma with muscle cone extension.
  • To review the literature on orbital lipomas.
  • To discuss diagnostic and surgical considerations for orbital lipomas.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a patient with a large orbital lipoma.
  • Surgical excision of the tumor.
  • Iliac bone grafting for reconstruction.
  • Review of relevant medical literature.

Main Results:

  • A 42 x 34 x 32 mm orbital lipoma was surgically removed.
  • No visual disturbance occurred post-operatively.
  • Computed tomography (CT) scanning aided in diagnosis and surgical planning.
  • Literature review summarized features of orbital lipomas.

Conclusions:

  • Orbital lipomas, especially large ones, present diagnostic difficulties.
  • CT scanning is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
  • Surgical excision with appropriate reconstruction can yield good outcomes.
  • Understanding the mechanism of orbital enlargement and surgical approaches is important.
