  • Title: Orbital cavernous hemangioma of childhood.
    Author: Maheshwari R, Thool A.
    Journal: Indian J Ophthalmol; 2007; 55(4):313-5. PubMed ID: 17595488.
    Abstract:
    Ocular and orbital tumors, both benign and malignant, occur relatively frequently in infants and children. Benign masses are much more common than malignant in the orbital region. However, childhood tumors show great variability and it is difficult to differentiate benign from malignant lesions. Cavernous hemangioma is the most common benign neoplasm of the orbit in adults. We report a case of orbital cavernous hemangioma in a four-year-old girl presenting as unilateral painless proptosis.
