SUMMARY: A 2-year-old girl who had a 3-day history of swelling in her right eye presented with a case of intraocular ectopic lacrimal tissue. MR imaging findings and possible causes of the ectopic lacrimal tissue in the globe, including embryology, are reviewed. The differential diagnoses of other intraocular masses and the imaging features that can be of help in making a diagnosis are also discussed.
