“…2 Orbital lipoma rarely grows and compresses the optic nerve resulting in disturbance in visual function including decreased visual acuity, relative afferent pupillary defect and visual field defect. 7 In our case, the finding and history was similar to that of Chi et al 7 from Korea but unlike their case, our case did not have disturbance of visual function.…”

A 36 year old male presented with a two-month history of a progressively increasing proptosis of the right eye associated with redness. MRI of brain and orbit revealed a mass in the intraconal compartment in the lateral aspect of the right orbit that had T1, T2, and FLAIR high signal intensity and was completely suppressed in the STIR image. Excisional biopsy of the mass resolved the proptosis, and histology revealed encapsulated tumor composed of lobules of mature adipocytes along with fibro collagenous septa. Thus, diagnosis of lipoma was established that has uncommon occurrence in the orbital region.

“…6 They are uncommon in the orbit, and accounts for just less than 1% of all orbital tumors. 7 Fibrolipoma is classified as a variant of lipoma by the World Health Organization (WHO), because of its composition of mature adipose tissue along with bands of dense connective tissue. 3,6,8 They are usually seen in adult men with a peak incidence in 5 th to 6 th decade of life.The age of presentation in this case was uncommon, because they are rarely observed below the age of 20 years.…”

Fibrolipomas are a fat-containing lesions that are characterised by the presence of adipose tissue and rich amounts of fibrous tissues. We present a case of a18-year-old female presented with complaints of swelling over outer part of left eye for 2 years . Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed T1 and T2 hyper-intense lesion in temporal aspect of left eyeball without any involvement of optic nerve or any hypertrophy of extra-ocular muscles. A careful dissection was done because of proximity of the lesion with lateral rectus and optic nerve, followed by excision. The diagnosis of fibrolipoma was made on histopathological examination. Fibrolipoma is a rare variant of the lipoma and only few cases have been reported in the orbit till date. The case we have reported is first of its kind in India.

“…These tumors are very rare in the orbit, accounting for less than 1% of all orbital tumors [7]. The pooled incidence of lipoma was 0.6% in a large orbital tumor series [3] and 1.6% of facial lipomas [4].…”
