Abstract
- The term 'orbital pseudotumor' has been used to describe inflammatory lesions of the orbital tissues of unknown etiology simulating in their clinical picture a neoplasm of the orbit. The term inflammatory pseudotumor of the orbit has a clinical rather than a pathological connotation. The clinical picture presented by inflammatory pseudotumor may resemble that of a true neoplasm in every way-there is proptosis which is irreducible, chemosis, swelling of the lid, limitation of mobility and frequently a discrete palpable mass. Usually recurrence has been Tare and several methods of treatment has been reported. A 48 year old Korean woman was found to have pseudotumor of her right orbit which was confirmed histopathologically on biopsy.
