    A computed tomography scan identified an orbital mass containing fat in a young man. Surgical examination confirmed it to be an oil cyst type of dermoid cyst.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Radiology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Orbital masses can present with varied imaging characteristics.
    • Lacrimal gland fossa is a common site for orbital tumors.

    Observation:

    • Computed tomography (CT) revealed a low-density orbital mass in the lacrimal gland fossa of a 20-year-old male patient.
    • The low attenuation values (below water density) suggested a fat-containing lesion.

    Findings:

    • Surgical exploration confirmed the orbital mass to be a dermoid cyst.
    • Specifically, it was identified as the oil cyst subtype of dermoid cyst.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of CT in characterizing orbital masses.

  • Accurate preoperative diagnosis aids in surgical planning and management of orbital tumors.
  • Dermoid cysts, particularly the oil cyst type, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of fat-containing orbital lesions.
