Abstract

Presentation is made of a case of orbital aspergillosis, a rare condition that may clinically mimic nonspecific orbital inflammatory disease. It can be a subacute or chronic disease that develops in otherwise healthy individuals. Fine needle aspiration biopsy, which has been useful in the diagnosis of a variety of orbital diseases, provided the initial diagnosis in this case.
