| Summary: | Osteoblastoma is a benign tumor of bone representing less than 1% of all primary bone tumors [1]. Osteoblastomas are primarily reported in long bones and the spinal column, with craniofacial cases representing about 15% of the literature (Meli et al., 2008; Kroon and Schurmans, 1990) [1,2]. Osteoblastoma with orbital involvement is exceedingly rare, with less than twenty-five documented cases (Akhaddar et al., 2004; Meli et al., 2008; Bilkay et al., 2004; Hafidi and Daoudi, 2013) [3,1,4,5]. The mainstay of treatment for osteoblastoma is surgical excision with consideration for resection depending on the lesion, size, location, involved structures, and clinical presentation. The authors present a case of an orbital osteoblastoma presenting with globe subluxation in a pediatric patient.
