Abstract

The mucoceles are most common cause of proptosis, which is occasionally difficult in evalultion of etiology, and it rarely forms fistula. The mucoce]es involving orbit has been not uncommonly reported in the literature. Recently we experienced three cases of mucoceles Involving orbit. Two cases of it form fistula with cicatrical ectropion of upper eye lid. One case has only proptosis toward down and outside. They were surgically treated without complication, therefore, we report here three cases of mucocele with literature.
