A 66-year-old female presented with spontaneous intraorbital hematoma manifesting as left exophthalmos after left eye discomfort persisting for 5 months. She had no history of head injury. Computed tomography revealed a round mass in her left orbit which was slightly high density with no postcontrast enhancement. A blood cyst was extirpated through frontotemporal craniotomy. Histological findings showed no tumor or vascular anomaly. Spontaneous intraorbital hematoma with insidious symptoms is extremely rare and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of orbital mass lesions.
