Abstract
Epithelioid Hemangioma is a vascular lesion with controversial etiology, divided between reactive reaction and neoplastic origin. It is mostly situated around the temporal regions of head and neck. In this case report we present a rare case of an adult male who presented with an orbital lesion which was clinicoradiologically diagnosed as dermoid but was histopathologically diagnosed as Epithelioid Hemangioma
Keywords: Epithelioid Hemangioma, orbital lesion.
