Orbital teratoma in a newborn produces rapid and unilateral proptosis, which, combined with poor eyelid closure, may lead to corneal exposure and vision loss. Early surgical excision of the mass is recommended to preserve visual function. We report a case of an orbital teratoma masquerading as a lymphangioma in 6-month-old girl. The lesion was entirely excised using a transconjunctival approach with good cosmetic and functional results.

Abstract
Orbital teratoma in a newborn produces rapid and unilateral proptosis, which, combined with poor eyelid closure, may lead to corneal exposure and vision loss. Early surgical excision of the mass is recommended to preserve visual function. We report a case of an orbital teratoma masquerading as a lymphangioma in 6-month-old girl. The lesion was entirely excised using a transconjunctival approach with good cosmetic and functional results.
