Primary intraosseous hemangioma of the orbit: an unusual presentation of an uncommon tumor.

CASE REPORT: An asymptomatic patient was referred for assessment of an intraocular amelanotic mass in her left eye. Examination showed a mass effect in the inferior location at the 5 o'clock position. This abnormality was defined with ultrasound biomicroscopy and standard ultrasound, but because the appearance was not typical of a melanoma or other choroidal infiltrate, magnetic resonance images and computed tomograms of the orbits were obtained, identifying an extraocular mass arising from the zygomatic rim. Results of a biopsy reported an intraosseous hemangioma. COMMENTS: The diagnosis of intraosseous hemangioma, because of its low incidence and unusual manner of presentation, can be challenging. Computed tomography and biopsy are helpful in making a definitive diagnosis.

Massive congenital orbital teratoma.

Orbital teratomas are rare embryonic tumors composed of a wide diversity of tissues derived from the three germinal layers. The presenting features include, a healthy newborn with extreme unilateral proptosis; marked stretching of the eyelids over a tense, fluctuating mass, with elongation of the palpebral fissure; enlargement of the bony orbit (two to three times normal size) with subsequent nasal and malar deformities; and transillumination of all or part of the orbital mass. Commonly the eye is normally developed but often vision is not preserved either due to exposure or secondary optic atrophy. The objective in the management of orbital teratoma is to save the eye to encourage orbitofacial development, maintain cosmesis and retain some vision. We report a case of massive congenital orbital teratoma successfully removed by an eyelid-sparing exenteration technique.

Bacillary angiomatosis of the anterior orbit, eyelid, and conjunctiva.

PURPOSE: To report a case of bacillary angiomatosis of the lower eyelid, conjunctiva, and anterior orbit. DESIGN: Interventional case report. METHODS: A 76-year-old immunocompromised male patient developed a firm vascularized nodule in his left lower eyelid and anterior orbit. RESULTS: An excisional biopsy was performed. Histopathologic examination revealed an abnormal vascular proliferation and a mixed inflammatory infiltrate. A Warthin-Starry stain showed numerous bacilli. These findings are characteristic of bacillary angiomatosis. A serologic specimen was positive for antibodies to Bartonella Quintana. CONCLUSION: The lower lid and anterior orbit are rare locations for bacillary angiomatosis. Our case brings to attention the increasing importance of Bartonella infection as a causative agent of ophthalmic diseases.
