title: [The characteristics of the clinical picture of lymphosarcoma and of a metastatic tumor of the orbit of another origin].
abstract: Clinical symptoms in patients with primary orbital lymphosarcoma, generalized lymphosarcoma involving the orbital tissues, and metastatic tumors of the orbit of another origin are analyzed. The orbital process has bee studied in 158 patients. The most frequent symptoms were ptosis and exophthalmos. Decreased visual acuity, pain, sensation of swelling in the orbit caused by rapid tumor growth were characteristic of metastases to the tumor and orbital lymphosarcoma in total system's involvement. In case of an isolated involvement of the orbit, lymphosarcoma ran a more swift course than metastases to the orbit and orbital lymphomas in systemic involvement which ran an aggressive course. These data cannot serve as differential diagnostic signs. The decisive information is provided by morphological examination of a biopsy specimen.
