The most common periocular tumors are capillary hemangiomas, which are present in 1-2% of newborns and develop in 10%-12% of children by the age of 1 year old. Deep capillary hemangiomas may be more challenging to diagnose than superficial capillary hemangiomas and can be confused with other orbital lesions. Deep orbital hemangiomas can mimic teratoma, l...
