Abstract:
This publication details the indications and contraindications of orbital tumor biopsies and surgical removal. Until now biopsies of pleomorphic adenomas were contraindicated. This management is now being reconsidered. Contrary to past convention, for suspected malignant tumors, a biopsy is essential. Great caution is required in surgery of inflammatory pseudotumors. Surgery is not recommended in lymphomas.
