Published: November 2021

Orbital dermoid cysts are benign choristomas that are very common in children and occur most often as a lateral or medial mass associated with the frontozygomatic or frontoethmoidal suture line.

Orbitotomy with complete excision prevented further ocular sequelae in this 11-month-old.
