From the Preface: ‘About every ten years a new book appears on any given medical specialty subject. Naturally, this is not because the entire body of knowledge on that specialty is overhauled every ten years but because the progress made over a decade usually warrants expressing new perspectives on quite a fewdiseases. Orbital oncology certainly qualifies as a subspecialty that merits an update every decade. At least two or three excellent textbooks on orbital tumors have been written since the mid-1980s. This book reports advances in knowledge about orbital diseases and their treatment and offers an up-to-date, single-volume reference for orbital tumors with particular emphasis on new improvements in diagnostic and therapeutic measures." Covering all phases in the diagnosis and treatment of orbital tumors (primary and secondary tumors as well as pediatric tumors and pseudotumors are described) Well illustrated: 500 illustrations, nearly two-thirds in color INDICE: From the contents Part I: Current Concepts of Oncogenesis.- Part II: Diagnosis of Orbital Tumors.- Part III: Primary Tumors of the Orbit.- Part IV: Secondary Tumors of the Adult Orbit.- Part V: Pediatric Orbital Tumors andPseudotumors.- Part VI: Tumor-like Conditions in the Orbit.- Part VII: Management of Orbital Tumors.
