1.INTRODUCTION
Space-occupying lesions, both benign and malignant, cause significant functional
and anatomical problems. Intra orbital space occupying lesions can result in
double vision, exophthalmos, ptosis, loss of vision, limited action of extraocular
movements and even permanent visual loss. Orbital lesions can be diagnosed by
radiological examinations such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and
Computed Tomography (CT) but definite diagnosis is mostly obtained by
histopathological examination of the removed mass . CT provides useful
information about the relationship of the mass with the orbital bones, intralesional
calcifications and other orbital structures . MRI provides more detailed
information about the morphology of the soft tissue masses, their relationship to
the orbital tissues and their borders .

Lacrimal gland[8]
The lacrimal gland is a tear-shaped, bilobed gland with the main function being
secreting the aqueous tear film . It is located in the supero temporal quadrant
within the lacrimal fossa of the frontal bone. The levator palpebrae superioris
divides the gland into 2 lobes: a palpebral component which is smaller and a
larger orbital component. Histologically, it is comprised of mixed serous ,
myoepithelial cells, mucinous acini, and small interconnecting ductules.

II. The extraconal surgical space (peripheral surgical space)- which lies
between the periorbita and the muscle cone with its fascia[1]
III. The episcleral (sub-Tenon) surgical space - lies between the Tenon
capsule and the globe[1]
IV. The intraconal surgical space (central surgical space) - lies within the
muscle cone[1]

Congenital tumour
Dermoid cyst
A dermoid cyst is a congenital choristoma of the orbit. A choristoma is a
benign tumour consisting histologically normal cells occurring in an abnormal
location. Dermoid cysts consist of keratinized epithelium and adnexal structures
like hair follicles, sebaceous glands and sweat glands. Dermoid cysts are the most
common orbital tumours in children, accounting for 46% of childhood orbital
neoplasms [5]. It constitute 3-9 % of all orbital tumours [6]. Dermoid cysts are
consists of keratinized stratified squamous epithelium with dermal appendages
and adnexal structures, including hair follicles, sebaceous glands, sweat glands,
smooth muscle, and fibro adipose tissue. The lumen contains keratin and hair.
CAPILLARY HEMANGIOMA (HEMANGIOENDOTHELIOMA)
Capillary hemangioma is also called hemangioendothelioma , a congenital
tumour which consists of tightly packed capillaries that usually presents during
the first 6 months of life .
It is mostly unilateral and visible on the surface, but it may lie deep in the orbit -
more common quadrant being the superonasal quadrant .
Superficial Lesions
Also called as the ‘strawberry nevus,’ capillary hemangioma is confined to
the dermis. It may be single or multiple and is generally elevated.
Symptoms include ptosis, sometimes associated with astigmatism and amblyopia.
Page 30
17
Treatment
Observation is warranted in most cases, since involution usually occurs.
Recently, systemic propranolol for 8-12 months has been shown to achieve
dramatic resolution for lesions in the proliferative phase. Intralesional steroids,
radiotherapy, and, more recently, topical corticosteroids also have been tried.
Topical Timolol maleate oinment has also been tried .
Deep Lesions
Deep lesions occur most commonly in the lids or posterior to orbital
septum and the most common quadrant involved being supero nasal quadrant.
Symptoms are proptosis, increasing size with the Valsalva maneuver or crying
displacement of the globe, subtle pulsations due to high vascular flow . Secondary
amblyopia may result from distortion of the globe.
Orbital imaging
Orbital imaging shows a well-defined intraconal or extraconal lesion , with
moderate to intense enhancement. On MRI the signals can be homogeneous to
heterogeneous, being hypointense on T1 and hyperintense on T2 images .
Pathology
A proliferation of capillary endothelial cells and small capillaries
is seen, with few spaces . Mitoses are commonly observed .
Treatment
Page 31
18
Treatment consists of mainly observation, since many lesion will involute
.If the lesion is large or amblyopia is present, local radiotherapy (500 cGy) or
corticosteroids (systemic or local) may be given. Recently, propranolol has been
shown to cause significant involution for tumors .

Page 39
26
It represents a irregular well defined mass. Bony erosion is seenT1 is
isointense to hyperintense, T2 is hyperintense with respect to muscle. Globe
distortion [28] and extension to the paranasal sinuses [29] is seen. Calcification is
rare in untreated tumours. MRI shows bright T2 signal, which distinguishes
rhabdomyosarcoma from tumours such as chloroma or granulocytic sarcoma,
lymphoma and metastatic neuroblastoma . MR may delineate the true extent of
disease for surgical resection . [30] On occasion, a pyogenic abscess may mimic a
necrotic rhabdomyosarcoma clinically and by imaging. [31] In such cases, MRI
with DWI is important in distinguishing, through demonstration of restricted
diffusion of pus in an abscess cavity, [32] as opposed to elevated diffusion in the
necrotic portion of a tumour.
Staging -There are four stages :
I. Localised tumour, completely resected
II Regional spread ,with or without positive nodes, grossly resected
III Gross residual tumour remaining after incomplete resection
IV Distant metastases
Miscellaneous Mesenchymal Tumours
Solitary fibrous tumour – Composed of spindle shaped cells which are positive
for CD34 on immunohistochemical studies
Page 40
27
Fibrous dysplasia -Benign developmental disorder. MRI shows the lack of dural
enhancement (which distinguishes it from meningioma) and CT shows
hyperostotic bone .
Osteoma- Benign tumours which involves any of the periorbital sinuses. CT scans
show dense hyperostosis with well defined margins. They are slow growing
lesions that can produce proptosis, compressive optic neuropathy.
Lymphoproliferative disorder [9]
Lymphoid hyperplasia and lymphoma
Lymphoid tumours mold around normal structures without deforming them, and
they are homogenous which does not erode the adjacent bone. They may be
well defined, or infiltrative.
Based on the REAL classification, types of orbital lymphomas are
I. Mucosa associated Lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma-It accounts for
40-60% of orbital lymphomas. MALT lymphoma occurring in ocular
adnexa are not associated with mucosal tissues . Some conjunctival MALT
lymphomas are associated with chronic chlamydial infection .They have a
low grade malignancy. Long term follow up shows half of the patients
developed systemic disease in 10 years .
Page 41
28
II. Chronic lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL) represents a low grade lesion with
small and mature -appearing lymphocytes.
III. Follicular Centre Lymphomas – Represents low grade lesion with
follicular centre.
IV. High grade lymphomas which includes lymphoblastic lymphoma, Large
cell lymphoma , Burkitt’s Lymphoma
It can also be classified as lymphocytic, plasmacytic and leukemic lesions .
Lymphocytic lesions are again classified into
Idiopathic inflammation (Pseudotumour)
Lymphoproliferative reactive and atypical disease
Lymphomas
Benign reactive lymphoid hyperplasia
It constitutes a benign proliferation of lymphoid follicles.
Clinical Presentation- Patient will present with painless and normal vision . A firm
rubbery mass is palpable and there may be subconjunctival “salmon patch”.
Histopathology-It has a polymorphic array of small lymphocytes and plasma cells.
It has mitotically active germinal centres.
Echography – A-scan shows low to medium internal reflectivity with regular
structure .
Orbital Imaging -It moulds to the globe and other adjacent structures. On MRI it
shows T1 hypointense and T2 hyperintense to muscle.
Page 42
29
Atypical Lymphoid Hyperplasia
It represents an intermediate between Benign reactive lymphoid hyperplasia and
malignant lymphoma.
Clinical Presentations- Patient may present with painless exophthalmos and
normal vision .A firm rubbery mass is palpable and there may be subconjunctival
“salmon patch” . It may involve other systemic organs.
Histopathology – Monomorphous sheets of lymphocytes which have larger nuclei
than Benign reactive lymphoid hyperplasia
Echography – A-scan shows low to medium internal reflectivity
With regular acoustic structure .
Orbital Imaging -It moulds to the globe and other adjacent structures. MR imaging
shows T1 hypointense and T2 hyperintense .
Malignant orbital lymphoma (Lymphosarcoma )
It is characterised by proliferation of monoclonal B-cells (Non-Hodgkins) which
arises in lymph node or in extra nodal site (orbit)
Age-Older age group (50-70 years )
Sex Predilection- No sex predilection
Clinical presentation –Palpable mass in the anterior orbit. symptoms like lid
oedema, exophthalmos, ptosis and diplopia. Most lesions are located in the
anterior, superior and the lateral orbit and frequently involve the lacrimal gland.
75% of cases – Unilateral involvement
25% of cases – Bilateral involvement
Page 43
30
40% of cases – Systemic Involvement.
Histopathology-It has an anaplastic , infiltrative lymphocytes with large cleaved
nucleus with no follicles .
Echography-It shows with low to medium internal reflectivity with regular
acoustic shadow.
Orbital Imaging – Well defined mass which moulds to the adjacent structures.
Lymphoma
CT density is similar to skeletal muscle. MRI demonstrates homogenous,
intermediate T1 and T2 signals, and homogeneous contrast enhancement. [25][26][27]
Lymphomas most commonly involve the superolateral aspect of the orbit, [26] and
bilateral disease is common.
Histiocytic tumours
They are rare proliferative disorders of histiocytes which range from a solitary
benign lesion to a malignant lesion.
Eosinophilic Granuloma ( Histiocytosis X)
Age-5-10 years of age
Sex Predilection-No sex predilection
Clinical Presentation –Rapid onset of eccentric displacement of globe with
painful superolateral swelling. Overlying skin shows erythema and inflammatory
signs .
Page 44

Histopathology- It is a soft friable tan yellow tumour which has sheets of
binuclear histiocytes, giant cells and eosinophils. In the cytoplasm , characteristic
Langerhan cells are seen.
Echography – Shows a well circumscribed mass with low internal reflectivity.
Orbital imaging -It shows an osteolytic lesion near the supratemporal bony rim
with marginal hyperostosis .Occasionally the lesion may extend into the canial
fossa.
Xanthogranuloma
Adult Xanthogranuloma of the orbit and the adnexa is often associated with
systemic manifestations . They are classified into four syndromes in their order
of frequency of occurrence :
1.Necrobiotic-xanthogranuloma(NBX)
2.Adult onset asthma with periocular xanthogranuloma (AAPOX)
3.Erdhiemm -Chaster disease(ECD)
4.Adult onset xanthogranuloma (AOX)
1. Necrobiotic-xanthogranuloma(NBX)- It is characterised by presence of
subcutaneous lesion in the lids and the anterior orbit. It has the propensity
to ulcerate and fibrose. Systemically it is associated with paraproteinemia
and multiple myeloma .
Page 45
32
2. Adult onset asthma with periocular xanthogranuloma (AAPOX)- It is a
syndrome which includes periocular xanthogranuloma, lymphadenopathy,
asthma and increase in IgG levels .
3. Erdhiemm -Chaster disease(ECD)-It is the most severe of the adult
xanthogranulma, is characterised by dense progressive , recalcitrant
fibrosclerosis of the orbit and internal organs, including the retroperitoneal
,pleural ,perinephric spaces, mediastinum and the pericardium .In ECD ,
the involvement of the orbit is diffuse , which is in contrast to the NBX and
the AAPOX and AOX where there is an anterior orbit invovlvement which
leads to severe visual loss.
4. Adult onset xanthogranuloma (AOX)- It is an isolated xamthogranuloma
without any systemic involvement.
Metastatic tumour [9]
Metastatic tumour in children -Neuroblastoma, Leukemia
Metastatic tumour in adults – From breast carcinoma, From bronchogenic
carcinoma, From prostate carcinoma
Metastatic tumour in children
Neuroblastoma
It is the second most common orbital tumour in children. It arises from primitive
neuroblast which may be metastatic to the orbit . Orbital neuroblastoma in
Page 46
33
children commonly occurs due to metastasis with primary in the abdomen.
[17] 40% of orbital metastases are bilateral. Primary orbital neuroblastoma arises
from the ciliary ganglion, [20][21] derived from neural crest cells.
Differentiated neuroblastoma is made of mature ganglion cells, Schwann
cells, and nerve bundles [19].
Age-Mean age at presentation is 2 years . 75% of cases occur before 4 years .
Sex Predilection-No sex predilection
Clinical Presentation-Rapid progression of exophthalmos over several weeks ,lid
ecchymosis ,lid edema, Ptosis is and Horner’s Syndrome
Histopathology-soft friable bluish mass with small round cells, with calcium and
areas of necrosis. Orbital Imaging -Irregular and poorly defined mass associated
with bone destruction and separation of suture .
Leukemia
Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the most common type of leukaemia
which metastases to the orbit. Granulocytic sarcoma or chloroma - It is a primary
leukemic orbital mass and a rare variant of mylogenic leukaemia .
Metastatic tumours in adult
The most common metastatic tumours to the orbit are the breast, lung , prostate,
gastrointestinal tract, kidney . Owing to its abundant blood supply , the
Page 47
34
extraocular muscles are commonly involved. Because of the relatively high
volume of low blood flow ,the second most common site is the bone marrow of
the sphenoid bone.
Breast Carcinoma – It is the most common primary source of orbital metastasis
in women . After 3-5 years of primary diagnosis it metastasis to orbit . It may
elicit a fibrous response which causes enophthalmos and restriction of ocular
motility .
Bronchogenic Carcinoma – It is the most common primary source of orbital
metastasis in men . It occurs most commonly in smoking males aged 45-60 years.
Prostate Carcinoma – It occurs most commonly in elderly man which can produce
a clinical picture resembling that of acute non specific orbital inflammation .They
mostly present with pain due to bony involvement .Imaging shows a lytic bone
lesion.

Inspection
Enophthalmos, may occur as a result of volume expansion of the orbit (fracture),
in association with orbital varix, or secondary to sclerosing orbital tumors (eg,
metastatic breast carcinoma) . Proptosis often indicates the location of a mass
because the globe is usually displaced away from the site of the mass.
Exophthalmometry- is a measurement of the anterior-posterior position of the
globe. Commonly used are hertels and leuddes exophthalmometry .
It usually measures from the lateral orbital rim to the anterior corneal surface .
Page 52
39
An asymmetry of greater than 2 mm between an individual patient's eyes suggests
proptosis or enophthalmos.
Proptosis can be tested clinically by asking the patient to sit and extend the neck
and the examiner has to stand behind the patient -Naffziger test .
Proptosis appreciated clinically when the examiner looks up from below with the
patient's head tilted back – WORMS EYE VIEW
Asymmetric orbital size- asymmetric palpebral fissures (usually caused by
ipsilateral eyelid retraction or facial nerve paralysis or contralateral ptosis)
Ocular movements- may be limited in a specific direction of gaze by neoplasm
or inflammation. In TED, the inferior rectus is the muscle most commonly
affected, followed by medial rectus, superior rectus and inferior rectus .
Palpation
Palpation around the globe may disclose the presence of a mass in the anterior
orbit.
Resistance to retrodisplacement - result either from a retrobulbar tumor
or from diffuse inflammation such as TED.
Pulsations of the eye -It may result from either abnormal vascular flow or
transmission of normal intracranial pulsations through a bony wall defect in the
orbit. Abnormal vascular flow may be caused by arteriovenous communications,
Page 53
40
such as dural cavernous fistulas or carotid cavernous . Defects in the bony orbital
walls may result from sphenoid wing dysplasia in neurofibromatosis , trauma
sinus mucoceles, surgical removal of bone, or developmental abnormalities,
including encephalocele and meningocele .
Finger insinuation – If this is positive it indicates finger can be insinuated
between mass and bony orbital rim , hence there is no tumour infiltration .
Auscultation
Auscultation with a stethoscope over the globe may detect bruits in cases of
carotid cavernous fistula. The patient may also subjectively describe an audible
bruit.

5.Treatment modalities
A) Orbital surgery[2]
Anterior Routes
Anterior routes include the superior, inferior, medial, and transconjunctival
approaches. In this area are the orbital tumors that are palpated through the eyelids
or conjunctival fornices.
Tumors frequently managed by these approaches are the
carcinomas secondarily invading the orbit from a sinonasal source
the frontal mucocele extending into the superonasal orbit
some lymphangiomas, capillary hemangiomas, and rhabdomyosarcomas
and
the non-Hodgkin lymphomas clustered around the trochlea or protruding
into the conjunctival fornix
the inflammatory tumor extending along the back of the orbital septum
the orbitofrontal organizing hematoma without intracranial extension.
Excluded from this list are the palpable lacrimal gland tumor because these
lesions should be approached through a wider exposure through lateral or
superolateral orbitotomy because their size is often larger than expected. The
lacrimal gland tumours should be biopsied without rupturing its capsule . In all
the anterior approaches other the transconjunctival route, the location and length
Page 55

of the incision is first outlined on the skin with a marking pen and then proceeded
.

G. Vertical eyelid split superomedial orbitotomy
H. Medial bulbar conjunctival orbitotomy
I. Subciliary inferior orbitotomy
J. Trans conjunctival inferior orbitotomy
K. Lateral bulbar conjunctival orbitotomy
Page 56
43
Inferior Approach
Since there is a less number of primary orbital tumours in inferior orbit,
inferior orbitotomy is less frequently done . For the management of secondary
tumors that invade from a source in either the nasal cavity or maxillary antrum,
the inferior orbitotomy is combined with some sino nasal procedure.
The objective of the inferior orbitotomy is to gain access to the junction of the
periosteum of the maxillary bone with the periorbita covering the floor of the
orbit and the fascia separating the tissues of the eyelid from the orbital space. The
skin overlying the inferior orbital rim also is very thin. This feature, combined
with the tendency of healing skin to adhere directly to the underlying periosteum,
creates a visible scar. So skin incision is placed somewhere in the lower eyelid
superior to the orbital rim. The incision is generally a millimeter or two below the
lashes in a subciliary position .
Once the inferior orbital space is entered, the orbital fat will prolapse into the
space and visibility is adequate and it may be retracted with cotton-tipped
applicators . The location of the inferior oblique muscle should be noted when
dealing with orbital fat during this approach to avoid postoperative diplopia.
There are no major sources of hemorrhage in the infero anterior orbital space.
Medial Approach
The curved contour of the supero nasal orbital rim is the landmark for the
medial approach . The incision is gull-wing shaped over the medial canthal
Page 57
44
tendon. This is the standard external ethmoidectomy incision. Other options
include a trans marginal, lid-splitting procedure and medial lid crease.
The external ethmoidectomy incision is 25 to 30 mm in length and is roughly
equal to one-fourth the circumference of the orbital rim.
In the supero nasal quadrant the bleeding vessels are the terminal branches of the
frontal and dorsal nasal arteries in the area of the trochlea and the angular vein .
The foramen of the anterior ethmoidal artery is an important topographic
landmark. It is located at the level of the cribriform plate and the junction between
the ethmoid labyrinth and the frontal bone. The diplopia occurs as a complication
of surgery results from the postoperative malposition of the trochlea of superior
oblique and also because of the secondary malfunction of the superior oblique
muscle of the affected eye . The complication is secondary to disengagement of
the periosteal base of trochlea during the course of the elevation of the periosteum
from supero nasal orbital rim.
The most recent description of a medial orbitotomy is the trans caruncular
approach. Mainly used for biopsy of the medial rectus muscle belly or for lesions
within the medial extraconal or peripheral space. The incision should be just
immediately lateral to the caruncle itself and the dissection should continue down
to the posterior lacrimal crest.
Page 58
45
Lateral Route
The incision is carried through the skin and subcutaneous tissue to the
periosteum, which covers the temporal orbital rim (anteriorly) and the temporalis
fascia (posteriorly). The subcutaneous tissue along these planes is undermined
with a sharp dissection augmented by mobilization of soft tissues by blunt
dissection, which is accomplished by a gauze that is wrap around the tip of the
index finger, which results in a nearly bloodless surgical field. Next an incision
is made in the periosteum directly over the lateral orbital rim starting above from
the zygomatic-frontal suture extending upto the level of the zygomatic arch, 2 to
3 mm posterior to the bony rim. The periosteum is removed away from the bony
rim along the length of the incision .Edges of the periosteal incision are sutured
with silk for the anatomic closure. This will prevent the malposition of the
lateral canthal tendon. When the periosteum is lifted from the anterior portion of
the zygomatic arch and the periorbita is reflected from the inner face of the lateral
orbital wall, terminal branches of the lacrimal artery are noted . These can then
be coagulated with a bipolar cautery. The temporalis muscle is released from its
attachment to the posterior lip of the orbital rim after which the muscle is pealed
posteriorly from the surface of the lateral orbital wall .

Exenteration
Exenteration of the orbit entails the total removal of the soft tissue of the
orbital cavity with or without conservation of portions of the skin of the eyelids.
In orbital tumors, the operation is usually interrelated with malignant neoplasms.
There are two types of exenteration .
Lid sparing exenteration and total exenteration .
The lid sparing exenteration may be done in posterior tumors within the orbit. If
there are macroscopic changes at operation suspicious of bone invasion, we have
Page 60
47
to do a frozen section examination of the periorbita. If it is positive, bone should
be removed and sent for pathological analysis [35].
B) Chemotherapy
Lymphoma- High-grade tumors should be treated with standard
combination chemotherapy, cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine and
prednisone (CHOP). The current treatment of choice for elderly patients with
DLCL (Diffuse large cell lymphoma ) is that of CHOP chemotherapy with
rituximab (an anti CD-20 monoclonal antibody) , cyclophosphamide
,doxorubicin, (vincristine) oncovin prednisolone (R-CHOP) regimen. This is
based on a European study which studied CHOP vs R-CHOP in patients with
DLCL and showed prolongation of survival and overall survival in the group that
was treated with R-CHOP without additional toxicity.
Maxillary carcinoma- Induction chemotherapy (ICT) and concurrent
chemoradiation therapy (CCRT) are the common multimodality treatments for
stages III and IV locally advanced maxillary sinus carcinoma.
Cisplatin (100 mg/m2) was administered via a microcatheter into internal
maxillary artery over two hours on day 1, and 5-FU (1000 mg/m2/day) was
continuously infused from day 1 to day 5 over 120 hours through the IV line. A
standard hydration and mannitol diuresis regimen were applied. The entire
procedure was repeated 2–3 times for every 3–4 weeks.
Page 61
48
C) Radiotherapy
Methods of Radiation Delivery
A. EXTERNAL BEAM RADIATION THERAPY
External beam radiation therapy (EBRT) is currently delivered utilizing photons
(gamma rays or X ray) or particles (protons or neutrons), with linear accelerators
(LINACs) doing the bulk of the work.
B. INTENSITY-MODULATED RADIATION THERAPY
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) utilizes controlled X-ray
accelerators to create a three-dimensional (3-D)--shaped conformal
treatment zone.
IMRT allows for a higher and more effective radiation dose to be delivered to the
tumor, with fewer normal-tissue side effects .
Page 62
49
C.VOLUMETRIC MODULATED ARC RADIATION THERAPY
It is a volumetric arc therapy that delivers a precisely sculpted 3-D dose
distribution with a single 360degree rotation of the LINAC( linear particle
accelerator ).
D.STEREOTACTIC RADIOSURGERY
There are three basic types of SRS:
The gamma knife
The LINAC is preferred to deliver high-energy X rays, photons, or electrons
to larger tumors.
Charged-particle (e.g., proton) irradiation
E. PARTICLE RADIATION THERAPY
1. Proton
2.Neutron
F. BRACHYTHERAPY
Brachytherapy involves surgically placing a radio- active material (typically
seeds or wires) directly inside the body. It is commonly used to overlap with a
Page 63
50
larger field of EBRT. Brachytherapy implants can be either temporary or
permanent.[36]For example, plaque radiation therapy for choroidal melanoma .
1. Brachytherapy Techniques
a.Finger’s Indications for the Brachytherapy Boost Technique
1 When the standard external beam radiotherapy dose would likely result in a
blind and painful eye due to radiation retinopathy, ulcerative keratopathy, and/or
neovascular glaucoma.
2 When exenteration of the orbit is the only option, but offers historically poor
local control rates (e.g., adenoid cystic carcinoma).
3 When a recurrent tumor has already received maximal external beam radiation
therapy.
4 When a patient refuses or is a poor medical candidate for exenteration surgery,
preferentially use brachytherapy to address residual microscopic orbital disease
in treatment of extra scleral extension of uveal melanoma.
Page 64
51
Irradiation of Specific Orbital Tumors
A.OPTIC NERVE GLIOMA
Multiport beam arrangements are typically used to minimize the entry dose and
concentrate the radiation within the targeted zone. Orbital tumors are typically
treated with a wedged-pair external (photon beam) technique. Doses of 45 to 54
Gy (in 1.8 to 2.0 Gy daily fractions) are typically employed.
B.RHABDOMYOSARCOMA
The minimum tumor dose should be 45 to 50 Gy over 5 to 7 weeks.[37][38] Lens
blocks are typically placed to protect the anterior segment (when possible).
Although patient survival has been excellent, doses in this range are typically
associated with severe, late ocular, and orbital side effects.
Intraocular Tumors that Require Orbital Radiation Therapy
A.. METASTASIS
In most cases, prompt ocular and therefore orbital EBRT(External beam
radiotherapy) at 25 to 40 Gy (in 2-3 Gy daily fractions) makes the preservation
of vision likely.
Page 65
52
Both breast and lung cancers are radiosensitive, and so most patients with uveal
metastasis can be treated with relatively low-dose EBRT(External beam
radiotherapy) .
B.RETINOBLASTOMA
In treatment of retinoblastoma and using schedules of 2 Gy daily fractions with
long-term follow-up, radiation retinopathy has been reported to occur in as many
as 10% of eyes dosed to 35 Gy (EBRT), in 66% of eyes treated to 45 Gy, and in
100% of eyes given 80 Gy or more. Radiation optic neuropathy has been reported
after high-dose EBRT and ophthalmic plaque radiation therapy[39][40][41][42].
Side Effects of Orbital Radiation Therapy
A.EYELIDS AND LASHES
Skin changes associated with radiation therapy
acute erythema,
atrophy,
hair loss,
ectropion or entropion of the eyelid .
depigmentation,
telangiectasias,
Page 66
53
Most desquamation is more common after doses of 50-60 Gy (in 1.8 to 2.2 Gy
daily fractions) over 5-6 weeks.
Eyelash loss may occur depending on the dose and dose rate. It may occur with
as little as 10 Gy, and it is permanent with dose of 30 Gy. At more than 50 Gy,
radiation can produce permanent alopecia.
B. LACRIMAL APPARATUS AND DRY EYE
Doses in the range of 30--40 Gy can be safely delivered to the entire orbit without
long- term keratitis sicca and it can be treated with Puntal occlusion , tear
supplementation and lid tarsorrhaphy .
C.CORNEA
Temporary limbal stem cell dysfunction has been described.
Acute corneal toxicity results from a loss of the tear film with secondary
keratitis sicca .
D.LENS
As little as 2 Gy in a single fraction or 8 Gy in multiple fractions can induce
cataract.[43][44]
The most common cataract after EBRT is posterior subcapsular cataracts , donut
cataracts have also been reported .
Page 67
54
E.SCLERA
Beta-emitting strontium-90 (90Sr) and ruthenium-106 (106Ru) episcleral
applicators are more likely to deliver much higher ‘‘sclera-thinning’’ doses as
compared with low-energy iodine-125 (125I) or palladium-103 (103Pd) . No
scleral radiation damage has been reported in external beam radiation doses of 60
Gy.
F.IRIS
Iritis can occur with a single dose of 10-20 Gy, but severe anterior uveitis has
been observed with doses of 30-40 Gy (in 10 Gy fractions) and after 70--80 Gy
(over 6--8 weeks).
Radiation therapy can also lead to iris neovascularization and neovascular
glaucoma.
G.RETINA, CHOROID, AND OPTIC NERVE
Radiation-related retinal and choroid vascular changes can occur to external beam
radiation doses in a range of 45-60 Gy .
Patients receiving 35- 50 Gy has a moderate risk of developing vasculopathy, and
those receiving ocular doses of more than 50 Gy will all finally develop radiation-
related ocular vasculopathy.
Also , radiation can occlude the blood vessels within the optic nerve (radiation
optic neuropathy) .
Page 68
55
H.ORBIT
Orbital irradiation of children can decrease with bone development.[45]This leads
to hypoplasia and orbital asymmetry. secondary sarcoma can develop [46][47]
I.HYPOTHALAMUS AND PITUITARY DYSFUNCTION
pituitary and hypothalamic dysfunction is most commonly seen in children
irradiated for optic nerve glioma.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Neto et al[48] described that in 11 year study period our of 181 tumours studied
70% were primary , 23% secondary , 6% metastatic and lymphomas, and 1%
was not classified .
Bajaj et al[49] described the profile of orbital lesions histopathologically and
found 63 malignancies among 119 cases, with malignancy rate of 53%. Among
children , Orbital rhabdomyosarcoma and retinoblastoma with orbital spread
were the most common causes of proptosis .
Bonavolonta et al[50] analysed that the most common benign tumour is dermoid
cyst (14%) and cavernous hemangioma (9%) . Non-Hodgkin lymphoma was the
most common malignant neoplasm (12%). And among lacrimal tumours , 64 %
were benign and among malignant tumours adenoid cystic carcinoma .
Mathew et al [51] described that 68% were benign and 32 % were malignant .
Benign tumors were more common in patients less than 60 years and malignant
tumors were more common in patients older than 60 years. Benign tumors were
most common in the superior temporal quadrant .
Tailor et al[52] cavernous hemangiomas appear as a well-circumscribed, ovoid
intraconal mass on cross-sectional images. Breast cancer is the most common
malignancy to metastasize to the orbit, followed by prostate cancer, melanoma,
and lung cancer. At imaging, gliomas often cause fusiform expansion of the optic
Page 72
59
nerve, in which the nerve itself cannot be delineated from the lesion. In contrast,
meningiomas classically have a "tram-track" configuration .
Sarah et al [53] described the radiological features of Orbital space occupying
lesions classic finding of optic nerve glioma , which are T2 hyperintense and
involves substance of optic nerve . MRI of rhabdomyosarcoma shows bright T2
signals , which distinguish it from chloroma ,metastatic neuroblastoma and
lymphoma .
Sim et al [54] described that due to the lack of lymphatics in the orbit,
haematogenous spread is the mode of development of metastasis . Orbital breast
metastases tend to preferentially localize within orbital fat or extraocular muscles.
Mohammed Jaber Al-Mamoori [55] described presenting clinical
manifestations of patients proptosis (94.7%), visual acuity impairment (49.5%),
diplopia (18.9%), strabismus (10.5%), ptosis (4.2%), ocular/orbital pain (26.3%),
conjunctival edema (12.6%), subconjunctival hemorrhage (5.3%),
lacrimation (21.1%), tinnitus (2.1%), epistaxis (2.1%), vertigo (2.1%) .
McNab et al[56] studied the anatomical location and laterality of Orbital
cavernous hemangioma and found that it occurs in the intraconal space (87%) and
lateral to the optic nerve (47%), a distribution which is similar to the distribution
of small arteries and arterioles in the orbit.
Page 73
60
Gensheimer et al[57] studied the survival index of patients using Kaplan-Meier
analysis which showed 5-year local tumor control was 80%, disease-free survival
was 61%, and total overall survival was 90%.
Isaacson PG et al[58] described that the majority of non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas
of the orbit and orbital adnexa are extra nodal marginal-zone B-cell lymphomas
of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT)-type lymphomas .
Gill et al[59] studied the response and complications of 150 mg oral vismodegib
in 7 patients with locally advanced BCC. The mean treatment duration is 11
weeks (range, 4 to 16 weeks), 58% had 80-100% regression, 29% had less than
35% partial regression, and there was progression in 1 patient (14%). The most
common side effects of oral vismodegib are muscle spasm (100%) and weight
loss (83%) .
Tuncer et al[60] evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of rituximab in 10 patients with
Orbital adnexal lymphoma .Complete response was achieved in 36% and the
remainder required adjuvant radiotherapy for recurrence.
Raksha rao and Santosh honaver [61] described the use of intra-arterial
chemotherapy (IAC), periocular chemotherapy (POC), and intravitreal
chemotherapy (IVitC) has enabled to focus direct drug delivery to the tumor.
Unlike intravenous chemotherapy (IVC) which can be used in the primary
management of all retinoblastomas, IAC, POC and IVitC have specific
Page 74
61
indications. The prognosis for life salvage is now around 98%, with 90% eye
salvage and 80% vision salvage.

DISCUSSION
In my study the most common age group involved was 40-60 years. Females were
40% and males were 59% which is similar with study of Ralene et al[54] in which
53% were male .
In my study benign tumours were more common in patients less than 60 years of
age and malignant tumours were more common in patients above 60,
Out of the total IOSOL (Intraorbital space occupying lesions) 97.3% were
unilateral and only 2.7% were bilateral. In bilateral tumour, the neurofibromatosis
patient presented with bilateral optic nerve glioma.
In my study Right eye involvement was 51% and left eye involvement was 49%.
In my study , the most common clinical presentation was proptosis 46% followed
by orbital swelling 36% and the other presentation included watering (5%) , pain
(5%) , ptosis (5%) ,epistaxis (5%) , white reflex (5%) and growth in eyelid (5%)
which is similar to Mohammed Jaber Al-Mamoori et al[55] study in which the
most common clinical features at presentation was proptosis .
In my study most common (27%) presenting visual acuity is logmar 0.52-1 (<6/18
– 6/60) and the least common presenting visual acuity is no light perception.
Orbital retinoblastoma presented with visual acuity of no light perception.
The origin of tumour showed 49 % of tumours were arising from surrounding
tissues , 43% of tumours were primary and 8% were metastasis , from invasive
Page 88
75
ductal carcinoma breast , Papillary carcinoma thyroid and small round cell
tumour of lung . Old age with history of lump in breast , visible thyroid swelling
, history of chronic cough with haemoptysis was present in patients with orbital
metastasis in my study .
Out of IOSOL (Intra orbital space occupying lesions) 72 % of tumours were
Extraconal mass , 13 % of tumours were intraconal and 15% of the tumours were
both intra and extraconal .Of which eccentric proptosis was 85% , axial proptosis
was 15% . Most of the extraconal lesions caused eccentric proptosis and
intraconal lesions caused axial proptosis with statistically significant p value of
<0.05.
Histopathology showed that 51% of the tumours were malignant and 49 % of
tumours were benign which is in accordance with the study by Geeta et al
[63]which showed 48% to be malignant and 52 % benign .
Of the benign tumour the most common tumour is dermoid (42%). Most of the
Dermoids are located in supero temporal quadrant which is same as the study
described by Mathew et al in which the most common occurrence of benign
tumour is supero temporal . In my study 50% of the patients with dermoid tumour
presented to us in the age group of 1- 10 years.
Of the malignant tumours the most common tumour is non-Hodgkins lymphoma
(25%) , which is similar to the Bonavolonta et al[50] study which showed the most
common malignant tumour being to be non-Hodgkin lymphoma of diffuse large
Page 89
76
B cell type . PET scan was done to rule out systemic lymphoma. By
immunohistochemical marker study all the 4 non-Hodgkins lymphomas were
CD20 positive. patients treated with chemotherapy R-CHOP (Rituximab,
Cyclophosphamide, Hydroxydaunorubicin, Oncovin ,Prednisolone)regimen .
One patient recovered completely, two of them recovered with additional
radiotherapy and one patient died of systemic disease.
The only patient with orbital Retinoblastoma was presented with history of
swelling for 2 years duration and took native treatment and presented to us with
visual acuity of no light perception, we have treated the patient with 4 cycles of
chemotherapy of VEC (Vincristine, Etoposide and Carboplatin) regimen in the
interval of 21 days. The complications of chemotherapy like Hair loss, decreased
appetite has been observed. As per the suggested protocol in managing orbital
lymphoma by Santosh honavar et al[64] , the patient has been treated with 4 cycles
of neo adjuvant chemotherapy , followed by enucleation and there was no residual
tumour present .
The complications of Radiotherapy like Keratitis, Skin discolouration was
observed in 50% of the patients.
Survival analysis of malignant tumour in one year follow up was calculated using
Kaplan – meier survival index which showed 90% survival at the end of one
month and 75 % at the end of one yea . which differs from the study of devron et
al[65] which shows mean survival of patients was 1.3 years; the 2 year survival
Page 90
77
rate was 27% . The good survival index in my study is possibly because of short
follow up period of one year and also the survival index was calculated for all the
malignant tumour in my study whereas in devron et al study only patients with
orbital metastasis was included.
Page 91
78
CONCLUSION
In my study the most common age group involved is 40-60 years .
In my study males were more than females.
Most of the benign tumours presented under 60 years of age and most of the
malignant tumours above 60 years of age .
Most of the IOSOL (Intraorbital space occupying lesions ) are unilateral in
presentation .
There was no statistical significance in involvement of right eye or left eye .
In my study , the most common presenting complaint is proptosis . Rarely they
may also presented with epistaxis , Ptosis and white reflex as the only
presenting complaint .
Most of the patients presented with visual acuity of logmar 0.52-1 ( <6/18 –
6/60 ) and the least common is no light perception . The most common cause
for poor visual acuity of <6/60 is Optic nerve involvement and exposure
keratopathy .
Of the location of IOSOL , majority of the tumour are located in extraconal
space compared with intraconal space.
Both benign and malignant tumour were almost equal in number .
Most common benign tumour is Dermoid followed by optic nerve
meningioma .
Most common malignant tumour is lymphoma and maxillary carcinoma
extending into orbit .
Page 92
79
Though Retinoblastoma is a rare tumour , timely diagnosis and management
is important to prevent distant metastasis.
Most of the patients were treated by surgery alone followed by chemotherapy
. The other treatment modalities were Radiotherapy , Chemotherapy with
radiotherapy , surgery with radiotherapy , surgery with chemotherapy , surgery
with chemotherapy and radiotherapy .
A multimodal workup protocol for IOSOL would ensure early definitive
diagnosis . The choice of appropriate treatment is the key to a good survival
rate as in our study .
