Am J Clin Oncol. 2013 Apr;36(2):197-205. doi: 10.1097/COC.0b013e31820dbf28.

Abstract

The diagnosis and treatment of orbital and periorbital malignancies are challenging. These tumors can result in blindness, death, and significant cosmetic deformities. Herein, we present the most common ocular malignancies and a systematic approach to diagnosis. Further, we integrate the seventh edition American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system, biomarkers, and multidisciplinary approaches to treatment.
