Orbit and adnexal neoplasia

Area of Science:

• Ophthalmology
• Oncology

Background:

• Orbital and adnexal tumors encompass a diverse range of neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions.
• Accurate diagnosis and timely management are crucial for preserving vision and orbital function.

Purpose of the Study:

• To review major orbital and adnexal tumors.
• To focus on clinical diagnosis and management strategies.
• To emphasize recent reports and literature reviews.

Main Methods:

• Literature review of recent reports and studies.
• Categorization of orbital tumors by origin (vascular, mesenchymal, neural, epidermal, lymphoid, metastatic).
• Separate consideration of lacrimal gland and eyelid tumors.

Main Results:

• Orbital tumors are classified into vascular, mesenchymal, neural, epidermal, lymphoid, and metastatic types.
• Recent literature on capillary hemangioma and rhabdomyosarcoma treatment is summarized.
• Case reports on neural, epithelial, lymphoid, and metastatic orbital tumors, as well as lacrimal and adnexal tumors, are presented.

Conclusions:

• Comprehensive understanding of orbital and adnexal tumors is essential for effective clinical practice.
• Recent advancements provide updated insights into the diagnosis and management of these conditions.
• Continued review of emerging literature is vital for optimal patient care.
