Sumario:Orbital lymphangioma is a rare benign lymphatic and vascular malformation, which is distinguished by its abnormal endothelial ducts and can cause proptosis in the patients. Radiological imaging is essential in confirming the diagnosis. Sclerotherapy is an alternative treatment option if surgery is not an option or is too risky. This report presents a rare case of a 4-year-old girl who had complained of bulging her right eye since she was 3 years old. Because surgery can be challenging to the surrounding vital orbital structure, the patient underwent several sclerotherapy sessions which yielded good results on the patient.
