We have presented an interesting case of an unexpected orbital tumor in a 5-month-old female healthy baby who presented initially with a 1-week history of acute left proptosis, swollen eyelid, conjunctival chemosis and exposure keratopathy. She was treated with intravenous antibiotics without any improvement and was referred for the drainage of the left orbital abscess. The procedure was performed with partial resolution, however the proptosis persisted and an underlying orbital pathologic lesion was suspected. Further exploring the left orbital revealed a partially cystic tumor. The histopathologic features were consistent with a mature teratoma. The case is presented with a brief discussion on this entity to attract the attention of general ophthalmologists to such tumors in the orbit.

“…4 Complete excision was possible in 10 of the cases, whereas subtotal excision was performed if a portion of the tumor could not be accessed or differentiated from normal tissue. 5 Surgical approaches included bulbar conjunctival orbitotomy, 2,8 transconjunctival orbitotomy, 7 lateral canthotomy orbitotomy, 2 marginotomy 4 or transcranial orbitotomy. 11 All 13 cases were benign, and there were no cases with growth or recurrences postoperatively.…”

“…Common surgical treatment is the exeresis of the tumor while sparing the eyeball whenever possible [6,[17][18][19][20][21]. However, exenteration often appears to be the only therapeutic option [3,11,22].…”

Purpose. Teratomas are congenital tumors of stem cells derived from the three germ layers. They are frequently located in the sacrococcygeal region. Orbital teratoma is rare with less than 70 cases reported until 2016. We report the case of prenatal exophthalmia discovered by ultrasound exam which turned out to be a teratoma postnatally. The newborn in our case was female, just as described in the literature. Treatment consisted of total removal of the teratoma and the eyeball. Reconstructive surgery remains a big challenge since our medical technology is limited. Conclusion. A prenatal exophthalmia on fetal ultrasound should make us think of a teratoma, even if it is very rare. Fetal orbital teratoma may be associated with fetal survival. The infant will benefit from a reconstructive surgery of the orbit.
