The periorbital plastic surgery, especially upper and lower blepharoplasty is a very common surgical procedure. Usually the preoperative finding is typical, the surgery routine without unexpected surprises and postoperative course is smooth, quick and without complications. However, periorbital area can also be the source of unexpected findings and peroperative surprises. In this article we present a rare case of a specific disorder - adult onset orbital xantogranuloma in a 37-year-old woman who was treated for recurrences of facial adult orbital xantogranuloma by surgical excisions at the Department of Plastic Surgery, University Hospital Bulovka.

Retinoblastoma and beyond: pediatric orbital mass lesions.

Neuroradiology

Department of Neuroradiology, Istituto Giannina Gaslini, Genoa, Italy.

Various space occupying lesions can arise in the orbit, ranging from developmental anomalies to malignancies, and many of the diseases occurring in children are different from the pathologies in the adult population. As the clinical presentation is frequently nonspecific, radiologic evaluation is essential for lesion detection and characterization as well as patient management. While orbital masses may in some cases involve multiple compartments, a simple compartmental approach is the key for the diagnosis on imaging studies, and MRI is the modality of choice.

Background: Orbital rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is often limited to the orbital cavity and has a favorable prognosis. In some cases, the tumor can erode the orbital bone and behave as a parameningeal RMS (PM-RMS); thus, it is treated more intensively. However, the current protocols do not provide any guidance on how to consider different grades of bone erosion (BE) that can vary widely, hampering a uniform classification and the subsequent treatment assignment.
