Multidisciplinary Management of Tumors of the Orbit

The orbit is a complex anatomic space containing functionally important structures, including the eye, optic nerve, and extraocular muscles. Tumors of the orbit are notably varied in presentation and histologic type and can be challenging to identify, diagnose, and treat secondary to the functional importance of the eye and its surrounding structures. Multidisciplinary expertise from orbital surgeons, radiologists, oncologists, and pathologists is paramount in the timely and accurate management of orbital tumors. Fortunately, with the advancement of surgical approaches, radiation delivery, and targeted medical therapy, patient outcomes and quality of life continue to improve.
