“…Lack [5] has reported the tendency of cervical teratoma to involve the right side of the neck and our patient also (case III) had the tumor on the right side. Alkemade [10], in a review of the literature, found that the left eye was affected more frequently than the right eye in orbital teratomas, which was also seen in our case. The reasons for these predilections are unclear.…”

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.

Congenital teratoma is a rare cause of congenital proptosis. A full term three-day-old male child was presented with massive unilateral swelling in the left orbit, which was noted since birth. Diagnosis of orbital teratoma without intracranial extension was made based on clinical examination and imaging. Lid-sparing exenteration of the left orbit was done. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of cystic teratoma. Congenital orbital teratoma with a tooth and mature elements of all the three germ cell layers is reported due to its extreme rarity.
