Summary
A 69-year-old Caucasian man presented with a two week history of diplopia on upgaze and right upper lid swelling. We present an unusual case of an epithelial implantation cyst within the orbit which presented 40 years after initial injury from an airgun pellet. This case is to highlight the importance of taking a thorough history when assessing adnexal lesions of undetermined origin. His only history of note was of an airgun injury to his right orbit 40 years ago which required surgical removal of the pellet.
