Multiple XXXX of the orbit.

@entity1 @entity2477 @entity5 @entity2695
PURPOSE: @entity2477 of the orbit is often unilateral and solitary. Multiple @entity2477 of the orbit are extremely rare. The authors reported four @entity1 who had more than two @entity2477 in one orbit. METHODS: Case reports.The clinical features, imaging findings, differential diagnosis and surgical management were presented. RESULTS: We found 4 cases of multiple @entity2477 of the orbit out of 214 records of all @entity1 with orbital @entity2477 who were referred to us from Jan 1,1986 to Dec 31,2000. Two @entity1 were female and two were male. The mean age was 46.5 years, ranging from 37.0 to 57.0 years. The left orbits were affected in all @entity1 , with two, three, eight and ten @entity5 respectively. The most common complaint was a painless, gradually progressive proptosis. The characteristic CT imaging features were multiple well circumscribed, round or ovoid masses that were sharply delineated from the surrounding tissue. B-scan ultrasonography showed round-shaped orbital masses with high internal reflectivity. The therapeutic outcomes of lateral or anterior orbitotomy were excellent. CONCLUSION: Although rare, cavernous @entity2695 should be considered in the differential diagnosis of @entity1 with multiple orbital mass lesions.
