“…The first conventional line of treatment consists of surgery, followed by postoperative radiotherapy. 10 This aligns with the decision made by our multidisciplinary tumor board. Taking the correct surgical approach to these lesions is probably one of the most critical management decisions and can save the patient from unnecessary morbidity and mortality.…”

“… 11 Benelli and his colleagues have reported a 45‐year‐old man with involvement of the muscle (superior rectus) and neural invasion who finally underwent eye exenteration and adjuvant radiotherapy. 10 In our patient, the same as this study, radical orbital exenteration and adjuvant radiotherapy were considered due to muscle involvement and perineural invasion. A fast and reliable intraoperative method to detect tumor margins, assisting in the removal of involved tissues and sparing uninvolved areas, has always been a potentially ideal method.…”

Key Clinical MessageElectrical Impedimetric Tumor Detection System is a novel and promising tool for fast intraoperative tumor delineation and accurate safe margin detection in orbital tumors.AbstractAdenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignant tumor of epithelial origin, typically arising from the salivary and lacrimal glands. ACC is notorious for recurrence and a high rate of morbidity and mortality despite therapy. We presented a 48‐year‐old male patient with lacrimal gland ACC of the right orbit who underwent radical tumor resection and adjuvant radiotherapy. We applied a new diagnostic method, the Electrical Impedimetric Tumor Detection System, during surgery and tested its performance to enhance the precision of tumor resection. Two months after surgery, he underwent external radiation of 58 Gy in 29 fractions. He showed no tumor recurrence or metastasis in the 1‐year follow‐up visits. ITDS showed a precision of tumor and margin detection consistent with histopathology results. This novel ITDS may be a reliable system for fast intraoperative tumor delineation and accurate, safe margin detection in orbital tumors.
