title: [Orbital dysembryoplastic cyst at the conjunctival wall].
abstract: An 18-year-old female patient developed a mass in the superomedial angle of her left orbit. After evaluation, this tumor was surgically removed. A dysembryoplastic cyst lined with conjunctival epithelium was diagnosed by light microscopic examination. Clinical and pathological data are detailed. The characteristics of dysembryoplastic orbital cysts are reviewed.
