Summary
According to large series metastatic and secondary tumours represent an important and prevalent form of orbital pathology and are a major group of orbital neoplasms. In a review of 38 cases (Jan. 83-Jan. 86) the echographic findings with Standardized Echography of metastatic haema-togenic tumours and of secondary tumours from contiguous structures of the orbit will be presented. The acoustic criteria to achieve this very important diagnosis and the differentiation to other primary orbital tumours will be discussed.
