Abstract
- Orbital lipomas are uncommon benign tumors with only a few reported cases in literature. They are usually asymptomatic and exhibit gradual growth. We rendered such a rare case of primary lipoma in the orbital region with interpreted symptoms of ocular pain, reduced vision, and mild proptosis. Right fronto-orbital craniotomy with gross total excision of the tumor was done. Histological examination suggested a final diagnosis of lipoma. Post-operatively, the patient developed mild ptosis. During follow-up, ptosis completely subsided and significant improvement in vision was noted.
