Abstract
In this case report, we describe a case of superotemporal orbital dermoid that came to our tertiary care center. An 8-year-old female presented with
swelling of the left superolateral orbital region, which gradually increased over the past 3 years. A CT scan was performed, which showed a welldened non-enhancing cystic lesion with thin internal septa in the extraconal space of the left orbit, in the superolateral compartment. Although the
denitive diagnosis was not clear, it appeared to be a dermoid cyst on CT ndings. Surgical excision of the mass was performed by the sub-brow
approach and histopathological examination of the specimen was performed, which conrmed that it was a dermoid cyst. After the surgery, the
swelling subsided
