[Intraorbital dermoid cyst: case report].
Dermoid cysts account for 3-4 % of primary orbital tumors. The intraorbital location is relatively rare. The authors report a case of a 12-year-old male with an intraorbital dermoid cyst revealed by progressive right proptosis. The imaging aspects (CT scan and MRI) were consistent with intraconic dermoid cyst. The tumor was extirpated via a subfrontal approach. Histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of dermoid cyst. The authors discuss the clinical symptoms, radiological aspects, and management.
