The differential diagnosis of an intraorbital tumor is discussed on the basis of a rare case of cyst formation that presented clinically in the lacrimal duct. Rapid progression of exophthalmos and visual loss required an immediate surgical intervention. Using a medial orbitotomy, a cystic tumor was extirpated that had no connection to the paranasal sinuses. Postoperatively, the visual defect and exophthalmos resolved completely. This case demonstrates the problems of differential diagnosis within the orbit that require close interdisciplinary cooperation. The final diagnosis can often be made only after surgical exploration and histopathology of tissue specimens.
