Abstract
A 32 year old married female with complaints of intermittently appearing bluish mass in her left upper lid since last 2 years causing drooping of eyelid and cosmetic blemish. It was not associated with trauma, pain or visual loss. On clinical examination the mass was soft and reducible which reappeared on any amount of strain. The excision was planned after reducing it by sclerosant injection intralesionally. Sclerosant was also injected intraoperatively. On monthly follow up for 6 months no recurrence noted. Histopathological diagnosis confirmed it as a varix which is rare cause of orbital mass.
