Abstract: A variety of orbital tumors can occur in children with benign lesions being much more common than malignant ones. However, childhood tumors show variable presentations and sometime it is difficult to clinically differentiate benign from malignant lesions. The overall incidence of ophthalmic malignancy is greater during the first five years of life than during any subsequent age interval until the sixth decade of life. The differential diagnosis of orbital lesions in childhood is compounded by the fact that in young patients, both benign and malignant tumors often enlarge very rapidly, making them difficult to distinguish from one another, from infectious and inflammatory disorders and from trauma which occurs with high frequency in children and often without a reliable history. This paper aims to discuss a case of cavernous hemangioma in a one month old, its diagnosis, management, and prognosis.
