A 55-year-old woman presented with swelling of the right upper and lower eyelid, diplopia and proptosis. The clinical findings combined with imaging, pathology and full internal work-up allowed to make a diagnosis of limited Wegener granulomatosis. Treatment with systemic corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide markedly decreased the orbital swelling and diplopia.
