A case of orbital teratoma was noted at birth. The neoplasm with a normally developed eye at its apex protruded between distended eyelids from an enlarged but intact orbit. The tumour was successfully extirpated on the day after birth. Histological examination revealed components from all 3 germinal layers and no sign of malignancy.
