  • Title: Respiratory epithelial cyst of the orbit.
    Author: Eggert JE, Harris GJ, Caya JG.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg; 1988; 4(2):101-4. PubMed ID: 3154720.
    Abstract:
    An 88-year-old woman presented with a longstanding superomedial cyst of the orbit complicated by recurrent acute infection. Despite a clinical picture typical for a sino-orbital mucocele, no sinus abnormality was demonstrated. Histopathologic examination revealed a respiratory epithelial lining similar to that of the paranasal sinuses. Possible pathogenetic mechanisms are discussed.
