Subconjunctival fat prolapse is a rare benign entity or disease presenting as fat containing epibulbar mass in lateral canthus region. Weakness of Tenon's capsule secondary to age, trauma or any surgery leads to herniation of intraconal fat. Radiologists should be aware of the condition and its imaging features. We report a case of 70-year-old obese man presenting with bilateral soft yellowish lateral canthal mass. Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed typical imaging features of epibulbar fatty lesion in continuation with the intraconal fat.
结膜下脂肪脱垂是一种罕见的良性病变或疾病，表现为外眦部含脂肪的眼球表面肿物。由于年龄、外伤或任何手术导致的眼球筋膜囊薄弱会引起肌锥内脂肪疝出。放射科医生应了解这种情况及其影像学特征。我们报告一例70岁肥胖男性，双侧外眦部出现柔软淡黄色肿物。计算机断层扫描（CT）和磁共振成像（MRI）显示了与肌锥内脂肪相连续的眼球表面脂肪性病变的典型影像学特征。
