Most common malignant orbital tumor in adults that causes unilateral proptosis?
Orbital lymphomas
- typically superior orbit
- slow onset and progression
- subconjunctival “salmon-colored" mass in the fornix
- CT scan
- poorly defined mass conforming to the shape of the orbital bones and globe without bony erosion
- orbital biopsy
- definitive treatment is radiation
- associated with systemic lymphoma: therefore medical consult and systemic evaluation are necessary for all patients
