title: Orbital ganglioglioma arising from ectopic neural tissue.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a case of neonatal orbital ganglioglioma originating from ectopic neural tissue.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  RESULTS
  An African-American male presented at birth with proptosis and expansion of the left orbit. A discrete soft-tissue mass was located inferolateral to the globe, which proved to be a ganglioglioma.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The tumor is presumed to have originated from ectopic neural tissue in the orbit. Although infrequent, this tumor should be included in the differential diagnosis of neonatal orbital neoplasms.
