    Author: Krzystolik M, Warner MA.
    Journal: Curr Opin Ophthalmol; 1995 Oct; 6(5):78-85. PubMed ID: 10159722.
    Abstract:
    This article reviews the major orbital and adnexal tumors and focuses on clinical diagnosis and management. It emphasizes recent reports and reviews. Orbital tumors can be divided into vascular, mesenchymal, neural, epidermal, lymphoid, and metastatic lesions. Although derived from similar elements, the tumors of the lacrimal gland and eyelid form a separate category. Within the realm of vascular tumors, this article reviews recent literature regarding the treatment of capillary hemangiomas. It summarizes important information concerning the treatment of rhabdomyosarcomas published during the preceding year. The article also reviews case reports and studies of orbital tumors derived from neural, epithelial, and lymphoid elements. It provides general information regarding orbital metastatic disease and presents several recent case reports on lacrimal and adnexal tumors.
