Orbital Tumors and Pseudotumors – A Clinicopathological Study
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Tumors of the orbit require a multidisciplinary approach and closer attention due to the specific anatomic structure of orbit. Orbital pseudotumors include a broad category of orbital inflammatory diseases and pose a special diagnostic problem. They mimic true orbital neoplasms. This study aims to analyze the clinical profile and histopathology of orbital tumors and pseudotumors in patients presenting at a tertiary eye care centre A retrospective clinicopathological analysis of 54 orbital tumors diagnosed at the Department of Pathology, Sarojini Devi Eye Hospital, Hyderabad was done over a period of three years. The clinical data was retrieved from the case sheets. Hematoxylin and eosin stained slides of the cases were reviewed. The age of the patients ranged from 5years to 62 years. Maximum number of cases occurred below 15 years. Most of the malignant tumors occurred in older age group above 60 years. Twenty two cases (40.74%) of orbital tumors occurred in children. Males constituted 33 cases (61%) and females constituted 21 cases (39%). (Table. 2) Histopathological spectrum showed 40 cases of benign tumors constituting 74% of the total and 14 cases of malignant tumors constituting 26% of the total orbital tumors. Our study is compared with other studies in literature. Majority of childhood orbital tumors are benign. Rhabdomyosacoma is the commonest malignancy in childhood. Malignancy should be considered in elderly patients presenting with proptosis.
