Abstract:Patients with tumors of the orbit should be treated operatively in appropriately prepared centers. In our material the confirmation of this thesis is the group of patients with recurrences of basal cell carcinoma, operated on many times in the past, who due to the extent of the cancerous process had to have the seeing eye removed. In the case of malignant cancers of the orbit an interdisciplinary approach to the problem and the assurance of psychological care for patients who have lost an orbit are essential.
“…In the material analyzed by Pieńkowski et al, malignant neoplasms of the eye socket occurred in 24% of the patients, whereas inflammatory lesions occurred in 4% [17]. According to other authors, the most frequent eye socket neoplasms are inflammatory pseudotumors.…”
BackgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate the distribution of different types of primary orbital tumors, histopathological diagnosis, and postoperative complications.Material/MethodsWe analyzed 122 patients (68 women and 54 men) with orbital tumors, hospitalized in the ENT Department of the Medical University of Silesia in Katowice during 1990–2013. The patients were characterized in terms of anatomic, topographical, histopathological, and clinical parameters. The role of diagnostic imagining such as CT, NMR, and fine-needle aspiration (FNB) in preoperative diagnostics is discussed. Results of FNB, cytological, and histopathological examination of the postoperative specimens were compared.ResultsThere were 56 (46%) patients with malignant tumors, 42 (34%) with benign tumors, 19 (16%) with inflammatory tumors, and 5 patients (4%) had other tumors. In cases of malignant tumors, local recurrence up to 5 years was found in 36 (64.3%) cases. In the other 20 (35.7%) cases of malignant tumors, the patients remained under close follow-up in the outpatient clinic, without signs of local recurrence (follow-up 1–17 years). According to histopathological examination, malignant tumors were detected in 45.9% of patients and non-malignant tumor in 34.4% of patients. In 19.7% of patients, inflammatory and other types of tumors were diagnosed.ConclusionsWe characterized the occurrence and pathological profiles of orbital tumors. The tumor location, histopathological diagnosis, and postoperative complications give us important information for the diagnosis of tumor prior to biopsy or tumor resection and for the determination of the treatment strategy and possible complications after surgery.

“…Pierwotne guzy oczodołu stanowią około 0,4% wszystkich nowotworów występujących u człowieka [12], z czego15-25% występuje u dzieci [16]. 2-8% guzów oczodołu jest spowodowanych przerzutami, najczęściej raka gruczołowego płuca i sutka [17].…”

“…Na podstawie rejestru guzów American Cancer Society występowanie guzów oczodołu ocenia się na mniej niż 1 na 100 tys. osób, co stanowi około 1% wszystkich obserwowanych nowotworów [17]. Wśród zmian nowotworowych oczodołu chłoniaki stanowią od 10% do 30%.W naszym materiale było 5 chorych z podejrzeniem guza oczodołu.…”
Wprowadzenie: Schorzenia oczodołu ze względu na swoją różnorodność wymagają współpracy specjalistów z różnych dziedzin medycyny. Wśród schorzeń oczodołu wymienić należy urazy, stany zapalne, nowotwory, objawy chorób ogólnoustrojowych. Wszystkie schorzenia mogą stanowić niebezpieczeństwo dla narządu wzroku, a nawet zagrożenie życia.Cel pracy: Celem pracy była analiza częstotliwości występowania schorzeń oczodołu w grupie pacjentów hospitalizowanych w Klinice Otolaryngologii Klinicznego Szpitala Wojewódzkiego Nr 1 w Rzeszowie.
Materiał i metoda:Badaniem objęto grupę 35 chorych hospitalizowanych z powodu schorzeń oczodołu.Wyniki: W badanej grupie chorych 62,8% to chorzy leczeni z powodu powikłań oczodołowych w przebiegu zapalenia zatok. Osoby hospitalizowane z powodu podejrzenia guza oczodołu stanowiły 14,2%. Pozostali pacjenci to grupa chorych, u których schorzenia oczodołu były poprzedzone inną patologią niż zapalenie zatok.Wnioski: Schorzenia oczodołu stanowią heterogenną grupę schorzeń. Najliczniejsza grupa to chorzy z powikłaniami zatokowymi.
In this article we present a case of a 35-year-old patient with a massive 43 × 35 × 34 mm cavernous venous malformation of the left orbit. The orbital lesion was initially observed in 2008 and remained untreated to 2021 due to the patient’s refusal to consent to the surgical procedure; which caused the tumor to grow to monstrous dimensions.
