Key Clinical Message: A 23-year-old male with a tumor in the eye socket was characterized by multimodal images, including ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. After admission, surgical resection of the tumor was performed and superficial angiomyxoma was confirmed. Two years later, this tumor recurred in the same location.

Abstract: Superficial angiomyxoma (SAM) is a rare benign neoplasm composed mostly of myxoid material that can affect many parts of the body in middle-aged patients. Only a few case reports have involved imaging, which is extremely insufficient. Here, we present a case of SAM in the eye socket evaluated by imaging, including ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. The patient underwent surgical resection, and the diagnosis of SAM was confirmed. During the postoperative follow-up, the tumor recurred in the same location without metastasis 2 years later.
