title: A case of congenital orbital fibroepithelial polyp.
abstract: Fibroepithelial polyp (FEP) is a benign tumor of mesodermal origin, composed of varying amounts of stroma covered by epithelium. The skin and the genitourinary tract are the most common sites of FEP. Uncommon locations of FEP include the inferior turbinate of the nasal cavity, bronchi, and the pharynx. To date, there has been no report of orbital FEP. The authors describe a patient with congenital orbital FEP arising from the lateral canthal area. This congenital FEP was completely excised successfully through an anterior orbitotomy without any complications, with no evidence of recurrence after 25 months.
