  • Title: Pathologic changes of the orbital bones.
    Author: Blodi FC.
    Journal: Trans Sect Ophthalmol Am Acad Ophthalmol Otolaryngol; 1976; 81(1):OP26-57. PubMed ID: 818759.
    Abstract:
    The orbital bones may show nearly all the pathologic changes observed in the skull and in the face. The congenital anomalies in this area are numerous and involve mainly various forms of craniostenoses. Among the benign osseous tumors the osteoma is most frequently encountered in the orbit. Fibrous dysplasia is a tumefaction of undeterminate behavior which often involves the orbit. Osteosarcoma or other malignant neoplasms are rarely seen in this area. Eosinophilic granuloma and Hand-Schuller-Christian disease are tumorlike lesions which may involve the orbit.
