ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To describe the clinicopathologic features and management of an unusual case of orbital teratoma.METHODS:
A 7-year-old girl presented with a history of an orbital mass since birth. CT scan showed a large mass lesion involving the right orbit, with absence of the eyeball. An ectopic tooth was identified within the tumor. Lid-sparing exenteration surgery was performed.RESULTS:
Histopathologic examination of the excised mass showed presence of elements from all three germ layers, consistent with a diagnosis of mature orbital teratoma. Normal ocular structures were not identified on histopathology. At one year follow-up, there was no tumor recurrence.CONCLUSION:
We report an extremely rare and interesting case of a mature orbital teratoma, which was associated with primary anophthalmos and an ectopic tooth.
