title: [Non-pigmented extrabulbar sarcomas of the eye-region (author's transl)].
abstract: The authors report on 30 cases with non-pigmented extrabulbar sarcomas of the eye-region which occurred in our clinic within the period of 1955 till 1975. The primary sarcomas of the orbit predominate with 11 cases over the secondary involvement with 9 cases. More seldom (5 cases) is the involvement of the lids and the epibulbar space. The various groups of lymphosarcoma predominate with 16 cases over the spindle-cell sarcoma with 6 cases. The age distribution shows that these tumors prefer the first three decades and the fifth and the following decennia. The prognosis is bad for the conservation of the eye as well as for the preservation of life. With reference to the localisation the distribution at the time of the beginning of the therapy as well as the histological findings an intensive therapy (operation, radiation, chemo-therapy) has to be accomplished.
