title: Primary orbital teratoma with tooth in an adult: a rare association with cataract and corectopia.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Orbital teratoma is a known cause of proptosis in neonates but it is rare in adults.
  
  
  METHODS
  An adult female presented with primary orbital teratoma with a well formed tooth inside the multicystic mass. Anterior orbitotomy with cyst excision was done with retrieval of a canine tooth.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This report documents a unique case of orbital teratoma presenting in an adult with well formed canine tooth inside. Microcornea, corectopia and cataract were other distinctive coexisting features of our case.
