Orbital Tumors

Orbital tumors are abnormal growths found in the orbit, the bony cavity that surrounds the eye. They can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and may arise from various tissues, including muscles, nerves, or the glands around the eye. Symptoms can include bulging of the eye, vision changes, pain, or swelling. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests like CT or MRI, and treatment options can range from observation to surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy, depending on the type and severity of the tumor. Early detection is crucial for the best outcomes in ophthalmic oncology.
