Orbital venous-lymphatic malformation

Abstract

Sir, Orbital venous-lymphatic malformationAn orbital venous-lymphatic malformation is a rare congenital lesion, the clinical and radiological features of which have been highlighted by Liyanage et al.1 We present our surgical experience and histopathological description of a patient having a similar condition. Case reportA 39-year-old roofer was seen with a 2-week history of an enlarging vascular conjunctival lesion in the medial canthal area and a diffuse swelling in the temporal area. He also reported the presence of a superonasal anterior orbital swelling since birth. His vision, ocular movements, and position of the eyeball were unaffected. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan showed a serpiginous superior orbital mass having a vascular communication to the subcutaneous soft tissue mass on
