title: [Neoplasms of the orbit and ocular adnexa in children--diagnosis and treatment].
abstract: Analysis of diagnosis and treatment of the orbit and ocular adnexa in 38 children was made. In 24 cases (63%) benign and in 14 (37%) malignant neoplasms were diagnosed. Among malignant neoplasms there were: 1 melanoma of the conjunctiva, 5 lymphoma, 1 carcinoma sebaceum, 1 pigmentary progonoma, 3 rhabdomyosarcoma, 1 fibrosarcoma and 2 embryonic ganglioma. Usefulness of the applied diagnostic methods and results of treatment are discussed. Long-term results were good in all benign lesions. In malignant neoplasms, they depend on the period of diagnosis and beginning of the therapy.
