Orbital Tumors

  • Chapter
Oncology of CNS Tumors

Abstract

Orbital tumors can either be developmental, such as dermoid cysts, or acquired lesions (inflammatory masses, vascular anomalies, and benign or malignant neoplasms). Only the diagnosis and management of discrete structural lesions of the orbit will be presented in this chapter, and we will not address vascular or inflammatory disease.
