Abstract

A 26-year-old male with a history of orbital lymphangioma and compressive optic neuropathy presented with recurrent proptosis in the OS. After examination and imaging, a left orbital lymphatic malformation and a new subcutaneous temporal-parietal vasculo-lymphatic malformation were diagnosed. The patient underwent a bleomycin injection for the orbital malformation and an excisional biopsy for the temporal lesion, leading to symptom resolution. Recurrence of lymphatic malformations and hemorrhage typically occurs at the same site, here we report a patient with the appearance of a new site lesion with orbital recurrence.
