Intervention:
Treatment consisted of a large orbital exenteration followed by reconstruction with a pedicled temporalis muscle flap.
Main Outcome Measures:

Results:
After a year of follow-up, there was no sign of local recurrence.
Conclusions:
Oncocytomas, even if benign, must be considered as very aggressive tumors and treated accordingly.
