“…Dermolipomas are not as mobile as prolapsed orbital fat. CT shows a well-delineated area with no relation to orbital fat [2,8]. It can be associated with the lateral canthus [2,10], and also as part of the hemifacial microsomia or Goldenhar syndrome [11Á13].…”

Prolapsed orbital fat has rarely been described and is often confused with other conjunctival tumours, such as dermolipoma. We describe the clinical features and treatment of 15 patients with prolapsed orbital fat. We report here our experience in 15 consecutive patients who presented to the Vision Institute of Federal University of São Paulo, Brazil, between July 2004 and December 2007. Age, sex, presenting complaint, physical findings, associated local and systemic diseases, type of treatment, and complications were recorded. Ten patients were men, and ages ranged from 44-86 (mean 68). Eleven patients presented with unilateral disease. Thirteen had superotemporal prolapse, and two atypical superonasal prolapse. Two gave a history of trauma. All patients had the prolapsed fat excised for cosmetic reasons. There were no complications. Orbital fat prolapse is usually superotemporal, mainly in men, and is easily differentiated from other lesions, such as prolapsed lacrimal gland. Excision is always indicated, usually for cosmetic reasons.

“…A ultra-sonografia de alta freqüência ou a injeção de indocianina verde podem ser utilizadas com intuito de diagnosticar as margens de segurança no caso de formações císticas (10)(11)(12) . Achados de tomografia computadorizada também podem ser incluídos no arsenal clínico com intuito de fechar o diagnóstico no pré-operatório (13) . Neste relato de caso, no entanto, não foi realizado nenhum estudo de imagem devido à facilidade do diagnós-tico clínico das lesões.…”

A two and a half-year-old female Persian cat was presented with a history of bilateral chronic ocular discharge. Epiphora bilateral mucous ocular discharge and a volume increase in bulbar conjunctiva on the dorsolateral quadrant of the right eye were noticed during routine ophthalmic examination. Ophthalmic examination and the aspiration cytology showed the presence of adipose tissue at the right eye dorsolateral quadrant indicating orbital fat prolapse.
