| No. | Author & Year | Agea/Gender | Presenting symptoms | Cyst size | Origin | Radiologic features |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eyelid | ||||||
| 1 | Feijó et al.16 | 73/F | Bilateral multiple tumors on both eyelids. | NA | Acquired | NA |
| 2 | Hirata 20139 | 2/M | Upper eyelid tumor with no pain or inflammation. The lesion was in direct contact with the tarsal plate. Ptosis and oblique astigmatism developed two years later. | 1.2 × 1.2 × 0.8 cm | Congenital | T2-enhanced MRI: a well-demarcated lesion from the surrounding tissue. |
| 3 | Kumar et al. 20176 | 9/F | A painless, progressive drooping right eyelid. | 2.5 × 1.5 cm | Acquired | B-scan: a fluid-filled cavity with no internal echoes. CT: cyst without bone erosion. |
| 4 | Sarabi and Khachemoune17 | 69/M | A small, clear, cystic fluid-filled papule in the left upper eyelid. | 0.4 × 0.3 cm | Acquired | NA |
| 5 | Sheth et al. 200818 | 55/F | Mass, discharge, tearing and ectropion. | 2 cm | Acquired | NA |
| Orbital | ||||||
| 6 | Eslami et al. 200710 | 14/F | Upper eyelid mass for 3 months without any pain or any other symptoms. | 1 × 1 × 2.5 cm | Acquired | CT: an extraconal mass above the medial rectus muscle, mild enhancement. No bone erosion. |
| 7 | Malihi et al. 20151 | 2 months/M | Medial canthal superficial mass, no other symptoms. | Small | Congenital | NA |
| 8 | Malihi et al. 20151 | 8/M | Supra-temporal deep orbital mass with inferior globe displacement and 2 mm proptosis, no diplopia or visual loss. | Large | Acquired | CT: an erosion of the lateral orbital wall. MRI: isointense in T1 and hyperintense in T2. |
| 9 | Marangoz et al. 201619 | 29/F | A painless, progressive mass. | 1.5 × 1.5 × 0.6 cm | Acquired | MRI: mildly hyperintense on T1 and hyperintense on T2, and showed no enhancement pattern. |
| 10 | Palama et al. 201511 | 57/F | Upper eyelid swelling and pain. Entropion, large central corneal epithelial erosion causing irritation and epiphora. Inferior globe displacement, restricted downgaze. | 2.5 × 2 × 2 cm | Acquired | MRI: extraconal large cyst with an anterior extension towards the eyelid. |
| 11 | The present case | 4/M | A superonasal mass with ptosis. | 1.5 × 2.2 × 1.9 cm | Congenital | B-scan: anechogenic fluid-filled cavity. CT: a hypodense cystic lesion located in the extraconal orbital compartment medially. |
