Abstract
Orbital cellulitis is common due to the infective etiologies. It can also rarely occur due to benign and malignant lesions. The differential diagnoses of orbital cellulites include mucormycosis (fungal infection), sarcoidosis and dysthyroid exophthalmos, neoplasia with inflammation, lymphoma, and glioma of optic nerve, pseudotumour and so on. We here present a case of orbital cellulitis in 70 year female who was referred to us. She also complained of gradual, painless, progressive swelling in the left parietal region since 1 year. The soft tissue was also seen to extend in the left orbit as well as in left infra temporal fossa. The soft tissue in the orbit was extraconal and was displacing the eyeball infero-medially. No obvious invasion of the optic nerve or sclera was seen.
