Purpose: To determine the share of malign and benign formations of the orbit and to select their optimum surgical intervention. Design: Retrospective observation of a case series.Methods and subjects: The authors evaluated a set of 100 tumors and pseudotumors in 93 patients who were operated on at the Central Military Hospital over the period of 13 years (1982-1994). The average age of patients (56 men and 37 women) was 45 years.Results: 59 primary orbital tumors, 41 secondary tumors, no metastases observed. There were 27 malign tumors. Most of the 29 benign neoplasms were meningeomas (10) and hemangiomas (9). The rest of the tumors of the orbit (12) were operated for granulomas (4), pseudocholesteatomas (3) and dermoid cysts (3), papilloma of the paranasal sinuses (1) and epidermoid cyst of the orbit (1). There were 32 mu.. View More»
