Abstract
Although the primary intraosseous angioma or hemangioma, although it rarely affects the bones of the orbit, it should be taken into account in the differential diagnosis in those patients who present a fixed mass in the orbit or signs of progressive proptosis, sometimes not painful. For the therapeutic approach, it is critical to assess the exact location and extent of the lesion by CT and MRI, and to establish whether it has a vascular origin, since improper management can lead to severe bleeding. Surgical treatment is indicated for progressive proptosis or cosmetic deformity. We present the case of a patient with primary intraosseous hemangioma of the supralateral rim of the orbit, we review the bibliography of this very low prevalence disease and we trust that in this way, we contribute to the casuistry.
