title: Orbital myxoma: a case report.
abstract: Orbital myxomas are extremely rare tumors. We describe a 75-year old male patient with lower eyelid ectropion and 8-mm of left non-axial proptosis. Orbital CT and MRI revealed a well-demarcated lesion in the lateral quadrant of the orbit. After complete surgical excision, histopathological examination led to the diagnosis of orbital myxoma. The patient was followed-up for 1 year without recurrence.
