title: Orbital sarcoidosis manifesting with enophthalmos.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe a case of orbital sarcoidosis manifesting with enophthalmos.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 60-year-old woman presented with right enophthalmos. She had a palpable mass in her anterior orbit inferiorly. She underwent a complete ophthalmic evaluation, magnetic resonance imaging, and histopathologic examination.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A magnetic resonance imaging scan disclosed an orbital, extraconal mass, with displacement of the orbital floor. A biopsy specimen of the mass demonstrated a granulomatous inflammation without caesation necrosis. Workup revealed hilar lymphadenopathy, pleural nodule, and splenomegaly. The patient was treated with corticosteroids, with subsequent involution of the mass and disappearance of enophthalmos.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Although orbital sarcoidosis usually manifests with proptosis or palpebral swelling, enophthalmos should be considered as ophthalmic manifestation of sarcoidosis.
