Retrospective trial describes clinical features and management of orbital lesions, indicating the need for accurate imaging and treatment strategies.
Key Points
This study investigates the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of orbital space-occupying lesions.
Retrospective review of 59 consecutive patients treated at a tertiary center from July 2018 to January 2025.
Analysis included demographics, localization, surgical approaches, and pathology based on a 5-compartment model.
Treatment options included surgery for 50 patients and conservative management for 9.
Among the 59 lesions, 48 were benign (81.36%) and 11 malignant (18.64%).
Cavernous venous malformation was the most common benign lesion (10/59, 16.95%), while lymphoma was the most prevalent malignant lesion (8/59, 13.56%).
Surgical resection showed a favorable prognosis for benign tumors, whereas malignant tumors required postoperative adjuvant therapy due to high recurrence risk.
