An unusual "sebaceous cyst".
A 41-year-old man was referred by his general practitioner to the general surgeons with an "infected sebaceous cyst" above the right medial canthus. "Cyst" was excised by the general surgeons. But this was followed by its recurrence after a number of weeks. A lateral skull radiograph showed the presence of a radio-opaque foreign body within the right orbit.
