C
hildhood orbital teratomas are congenital lesions that
presents most often at birth with progressive, severe
unilateral proptosis. Due to the rarity of such tumors,
the diagnosis is often missed with delay in the patient’s
management. We are presenting a unique case of an immature
right orbital teratoma with extensive growth in a full-term
newly born baby boy. In this case report, we provide description
of the clinical findings, initial misdiagnosis and the eventual
management with review of similar reported cases.
