Abstract:
With reference to the first article on the topic orbital neoplasias this second part focuses on the main characteristics of mesenchymal, leukemic, lymphoproliferative, osseous as well as secondary neoplasias of the orbit. For each entity the therapeutic approaches are presented. A large number of case report examples underline once more the importance of an efficient diagnostic procedure to ensure sufficient treatment of the lesion itself as well as the relatively common underlying systemic disease.

Metastasis
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
