Physical exam revealed a fluctuant, non-painful swelling around the right periocular region, exophthalmos with dorsolateral displacement of the globe, severe chemosis and swelling and protrusion of the third eyelid. Fine-needle aspiration and computed tomography (CT) examination were consistent with a diagnosis of zygomatic sialocele.
