Abstract:
3 cases of orbital tumors were presented, which were confined respectively as papillary adenocarcinoma, pseudotumor and mixed tumor in the histopathological findings. CASE 1: Papillary adenocarcinoma had been noticed in the left eye of a 66-year-old woman from about 4 months previously. Visual acuity was 0(O.D.), 0.3(1.2)(O.S.) and left eye ball was almost protruded out of the orbit. There was a coin-lesion, which was considered metastatic lesion from the eye, in the right upper lung field. Evisceration of the orbit which was almostly destroyed was performed successfully. No incidence of recurrence can be disclosed untill now, 16 months after surgery, and lost in follow up. CASE 2: Pseudotumor was developed in the left eye of a 33-year-old male. Visual acuity was 0.06(O.S), 1.2(O.D.). Severe choked disc and optic nerve atrophy were showed. Exophthalmometry: 24mm(0.5.), 18mm(0.D.). It was necessitated evisceration of the orbit because of the tumor was placed in the almost entire orbital space. Follow up study were impossibJe. CASE 3: In the left eye of a 51-year-old woman, mixed tumor had been developed from about 8 years previously. Visual acuity was 1.0(O.S.) and F.L.P.(O.D.), exophthalmometry: 13mm(O.U.). Surgical removal was successful and lost in follow up.
