title: Histological patterns in orbital malignant tumors.
abstract: There is a wide variety of tumors affecting the orbit. The most encountered histological type of malignant orbital tumor is the basal cell carcinoma followed by the malignant melanoma and the squamous cell carcinoma. The authors conducted a retrospective review of the malignant orbit tumors from the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University Emergency Hospital of Sibiu, Romania. The main surgical methods implied were tumor resection, exenteration and extended exenteration. The reconstruction was performed with the help of local flaps using different techniques: advancement, translation or rotation. The use of local flaps allowed for a good esthetic outcome and a decrease in the healing time.
