title: Orbital pseudotumor caused by a foreign body--a case report.
abstract: The case of a patient with a foreign body in the orbit is presented. The presence of this foreign body induced an aggressively expanding pseudotumor, infiltrating the eyelids, orbital muscles and the sclera. The process of diagnosis, management and the results of treatment are described. This case is noteworthy because of the atypical course of the disease in a patient with a foreign body following ocular injury.
