[A case of sarcoidosis in the orbit]

A case is described of a rare location of sarcoidosis in the orbit in a 43-year-old woman. The complaints persisting for four weeks for which the patient sought medical advice were: oedema and left eyelid ptosis with narrowing of the eyelid fissure. In the diagnostic process, endocrine background of the disease was excluded, and a tumour was found in the orbit in computed tomography. The diagnosis of sarcoidosis was made on the basis of histopathological examination of the tissues removed from the orbit during surgical operation.
