Rare tumors of the orbit during childhood. Multiform glioblastoma, melanoma, cystic lymphangioma, hemangioendothelioma: 67ga scanning and anatomico-pathological aspects.
Four cases of orbital tumours observed in pediatric subjects aged 16 months, 2 1/2, 51/2, and 8 years are presented. Stress is laid on the rarity of these tumors: multiform glioblastoma, melanoma, cystic lymphangioma and hemangioendothelioma. The 67Ga citrate-scanning investigations and the anatomopathological findings are described in detail.
