“…They include progressive inability to retain an eye prothesis, pressure and discomfort sensations in the orbit, and serous discharge [6]. Transillumination may signal the translucid aspect of these cysts, as in our case [7]. In the present case, the patient could not provide a clear history of the type of surgery performed.…”

Introduction: Conjunctival cysts of the orbit development are a rare complication in enucleated patients. They result from the entrapment of conjunctival epithelium within the orbit. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 25-year-old man with a history of enucleation for a retinoblastoma of the right eye who presented with difficulty in fitting his eye prothesis. On his past medical records, there was no reference to the placement of any orbital implant at the time of the surgery. Biomicroscopy of the right eye revealed a thickened bulbar conjunctiva, an inferior symblepharon, and a translucid central area with vascularization. Imaging was remarkable for a cystic cavity filling the whole right orbit. Biopsy revealed the diagnosis of a conjunctival cyst, and drainage was performed, alleviating the patient’s symptoms. Conclusion: Orbital conjunctival cysts may pose a clinical problem, and treatment modalities include surgical excision, absolute alcohol injection, and trichloroacetic acid injection.

Introduction: A simple orbital lymphatic malformation usually presents with acute proptosis with ophthalmoplegia after an upper respiratory tract infection. Various treatments have been described but the lesions often recur after treatment due to their infiltrative nature. Case Presentations: A 6-year-old girl presented with a 5 × 10 mm translucent mass in the left inferior fornix for 3 years but she denied diplopia and visual disturbance. Orbital computed tomography with contrast emphasized the clinical findings, a nonseptated cystic lesion without enhancement in the anterior orbit. The lesion was surgically totally excised. Histopathological findings revealed an endothelial lining cyst without intraluminal cells consistent with a lymphatic malformation. In a 1-year follow-up, the lesion does not recur. Conclusion: The simple orbital lymphatic malformation can present as a single nonseptate cystic lesion. Pathological study should be done for the definitive diagnosis. Surgical excision can achieve a favorable outcome.
