Abstract

The case of a 33-year-old-woman with a recent onset of left upper eyelid swelling is described. Imaging studies demonstrated a cystic lesion in the left lacrimal gland fossa. Excisional biopsy of the mass showed a dermoid cyst entirely surrounded by a thin layer of normal lacrimal gland tissue. The authors present a highly unusual case of a soft tissue orbital dermoid cyst arising from the lacrimal gland.
