Infantile orbital lymphangioma, recurrent epistaxis.
Abstract
We are reporting a rare case of 22-year-old Malay female with history of left orbital swelling which was noted since the age of 2 month and treated conservatively. Four years later noted the swelling increase gradually in size involving the bridge of the nose associated with proptosis and left intermittent epistaxis. Examination revealed a soft and boggy swelling at the medial canthus of the left orbit extending to the nasal bridge with mild proptosis. Left intranasal endoscopic examination revealed hemorrhagic spots at the septum with bulging at the lateral wall of the nose and intact mucosa. The radiological examinations with biopsy were consistent with lymphangioma of the left orbit. Orbital Lymphangiomas are rare and it is not reported to present with recurrent epistaxis.
