Case Study

A 10-year-old female presented with a newly developed cherry-red mass of about 1-month duration, which was located away from the edge of the right lower eyelid (Fig. 1). She had a history of surgery for a chalazion in the right lower eyelid; the surgery had been performed 5 months previously through a conjunctival approach. Other signs of systemic infection or lymphadenopathies were absent. Computed tomography (CT) of the orbit revealed a highly enhancing solid tumour (20 × 12 × 17 mm in size)
