A 10-year-old girl presented to us with painless swelling of the left upper eyelid. She had a relatively ill-defined, non-tender mass in the superior orbit.

Pediatric orbital fibrolipomas are very rare orbital tumors and should considered in the differential diagnosis of an orbital space occupying lesion.
