Plain-English summary
A 4-year-old female Miniature Dachshund was brought in for swelling around her right eye that didn't improve with antibiotics. Tests showed that the swelling was caused by a cyst that had formed in the bone around her eye and had spread into her nasal cavity. The vet performed a biopsy, which suggested it was an epithelial cyst. While the specific treatment wasn't detailed, identifying the cyst was an important step in managing her condition.

Abstract
A 4-year-old female Miniature Dachshund was referred with a chief complaint of right periorbital swelling that had not responded to antibiotic therapy. Ultrasonography and fine-needle aspiration revealed that the periorbital lesion had a cystic structure without any inflammatory or neoplastic cells. Computed tomography (CT) showed that the cyst occupied a defect in the periorbital maxillary, lacrimal, and frontal bones and had invaded the nasal cavity. The lesion was histologically suspected by incisional biopsy as an epithelial cyst.
