[Orbital cysts caused by conjunctival inclusion occurring after orbito-oculo-palpebral surgery]

Acquired conjunctival implantation cysts of the orbit after oculo-orbital and palpebral surgery are benign tumors. The term (terminology) implies "mis-placement" of the conjunctival epithelium into the orbit. Till now they have been described after "enucleation surgery". In fact, they can follow "any kind" of oculo-orbital-palpebral surgery, our series shows. We report here seven cases of acquired implantation orbital cysts; we discuss pathogeny, diagnosis, and the different investigations. We insist upon curative and above all preventive treatment.
