Abstract
A 54-year-old female noticed a 2-month history of an enlarging left inferomedial orbital rim mass. The patient remembered a pencil injury at approximately 7 years of age. Her complete ophthalmic examination was otherwise unremarkable. She underwent CT orbital imaging, demonstrating a centrally hyperdense lesion along the left inferomedial orbital rim. There was no involvement of the nasolacrimal duct system. The patient underwent an excisional biopsy. The pathology disclosed noncaseating granulomatous inflammation to particulate black material consistent with graphite.
