"Congenital" hematic cyst of the orbit.
A case of true hematic cyst of the orbit in a 10-year-old girl, apparently resulting from birth trauma, is presented. Ultrasonic and clinical features believed to aid the examiner in correctly diagnosing such a lesion are presented. While apparently unique among reported cases, "congenital" hematic cysts of the orbit undoubtedly occur occasionally and the possibility of this entity should be considered in appropriate circumstances.
