| Ancillary Testing | | Due to the heterogeneous color of the mass, the penetrating vessel, and the lack of adequate history, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the orbits was performed to rule-out malignancy. The MRI showed a well-encapsulated cyst overlying the medial globe, with no evidence of erosion or invasion of surrounding structures. The medial rectus muscle appeared to insert at the posterior pole of the cyst (Figure 2). | |
