    Author: Thyparampil PJ, Yen MT, Dhingra S, Shetlar DJ, Zarrin-Khameh N, Musher BL.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg; 2018; 34(1):e17-e19. PubMed ID: 28746252.
    Abstract:
    Primary neuroendocrine tumors of the orbit are exceedingly rare and typically present with gradual, progressive exophthalmos. In this report, an otherwise healthy 64-year-old woman undergoes resection of a well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor after presenting with acute proptosis. An extensive clinical and radiographic evaluation reveals no other evidence of disease, establishing the diagnosis of a primary neuroendocrine tumor. The case presentation is followed by a brief review of the classification, presentation, and evaluation of orbital neuroendocrine tumors.
