Abstract:
The authors reviewed 104 cases(51 men and 53 women) of the orbital tumors diagnosed hitopathologically at the Department of Ophthalmology, Yeungnam University Hospital from March 1984 to April 1996. Age istribution of the orbital tumors was reviewed. Eighty-four cases of benign tumors were found evenly distributed in all decades, but twenty cases of malignant tumors were mainly distributed in 1st, 6th, and 7th decades. The frequency of benign orbital tumors was in the following order; dermolipoma(19%, 20 cases), dermoid cyst(13.5%, 14 cases), mucocele(7.7%, 8 cases), lipoma(6.7%, 7 cases) and pleomorphic adenoma (5.8%, 6 cases). Of malignant orbital tumors, the frequency was in the following order; retinoblastoma (3 cases), malignant melanoma (2 cases), sebaceous carcinoma(2 cases), and maxillary sinus carcinoma (2 cases). Malignant orbital tumors of eight expired cases were revealed as secondary or metastatic orbital tumors.
