Orbital tumours include a variety of orbital diseases of different origins. In the case of malignant orbital tumours, early detection is important so that treatment can be initiated promptly. Neuroradiological imaging, in particular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), plays an important role in the diagnostic of orbital tumours. In adults, lymphoproliferative diseases, inflammations and secondary orbital tumours are most frequently found, whereas in children mostly dermoid cysts, optic gliomas and capillary haemangiomas are found. Optic glioma is a pilocytic astrocytoma and accounts for two thirds of all primary optic tumours. Optic nerve sheath meningiomas mostly affect middle-aged women. In childhood, retinoblastoma is the most common intraocular tumour. This is an aggressive malignant tumour which can occur unilaterally or bilaterally. Based on the imaging findings, differential diagnoses can usually be easily narrowed down using criteria such as age of manifestation, frequency, localisation and imaging characteristics.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

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...
