A conjunctival cyst caused gradual eyelid drooping (ptosis) and eye bulging (proptosis) in a 61-year-old woman. This orbital tumor case highlights the importance of considering conjunctival cysts in orbital mass diagnoses.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Ophthalmic Pathology

Background:

  • Orbital tumors present a diagnostic challenge, necessitating a broad differential diagnosis.
  • Conjunctival cysts are rare orbital masses that can mimic more common orbital pathologies.

Observation:

  • A 61-year-old female presented with a year of progressive, painless left eye proptosis and ptosis.
  • Orbital computed tomography revealed a well-defined, superior nasal orbital tumor with homogeneous density.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision via anterior orbitotomy allowed for mass removal.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the orbital mass as a conjunctival cyst.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the significance of conjunctival cysts in the differential diagnosis of orbital tumors.
