title: Scleral buckle hemorrhagic cyst masquerading as an orbital tumor.
abstract: We present a case of a 41-year-old man who was referred for evaluation of a choroidal tumor with a remote history of scleral buckle placement for traumatic retinal detachment. Ocular imaging, echography, and magnetic resonance imaging could not rule out a neoplastic process so the patient was taken for surgical exploration where a hemorrhagic cyst was discovered. This is the first case in the literature of a silicone scleral buckle-associated hemorrhagic cyst presenting as orbital mass.
