RARE ORBITAL TUMOURS-A REPORT OF TWO CASES

Abstract

Abstract : Tumours of the orbit are rare diseases in
ophthalmic pathology accounting for 3.5 - 4percentage of
cases(1). They are a great challenge to the ophthalmologist
since they present with avariety of signs and symptoms. We
herein report the clinical, radiological and histopathologica
features of Myoepithelioma of lacrimal gland in a forty five
year old woman. The second patient was aunique case of
primary Ewings sarcoma in an eighteen months old male child
in whom diagnosis was confirmed using immuno
histochemical staining. Both the cases have been reported
due to their rare occurrence with no known incidence in literature.
