Unusual preseptal location of an orbital cavernous hemangioma

Cavernous hemangioma is the most common primary Vascular orbital tumor in adults. Generally the benign tumor arises within the muscle cone, revealed by proptosis with choroidal folds, and more rarely develops in other orbital localizations. We report the case of a 42-year-old female African patient who had a cavernous hemangioma in an unusual anterior localization. Clinically, a small superficial tumor was palpated in the right superior nasal orbital angle. After complete surgical excision, the histopathological study established the diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma
