Abstract:
The steatocystoma is a solitary or multiple cystic tumor, which usually occurs on the face, chest or axilla. To our knowledge, there has been no case report of steatocystoma in the orbit in Korea. We experienced a 22-year-old female patient with a steatocystoma in the orbit, which was diagnosed by histopathologic examination.
