A complete update of a classic reference by specialists at the Mayo Clinic, Henderson's Orbital Tumors, Fourth Edition collates the Clinic's fifty years' experience in managing tumors involving the orbit. Drawing on case reports and extensive follow-up data from over 1,700 patients treated at the Clinic, the authors formulate comprehensive guidelines on diagnosis and medical and surgical treatment of the entire spectrum of orbital tumors. This new edition reflects the latest advances in diagnosis and treatment, including improved imaging technology, more accurate pathologic diagnosis, new radiotherapy options, new surgical approaches, and therapy using monoclonal antibodies. More than 460 illustrations, 43 in full color, complement the text.
An introductory text for orbitologists, completely rewritten to reflect major developments pertaining to orbital tumors in the 13 years since publication of the second edition. Foremost in this regard is the routine use of soft tissue imaging methods for the preoperative clinical assessment of patients with orbital tumors, and the application of immunohistochemistry, monoclonal antibodies, and molecular genetic analysis to the classification and histopathological identification of many of the orbital lesions. Likewise, adjuvant chemotherapy has enlarged the management options of selected cases, and orbitectomy, rather than orbitotomy, has evolved for some of the malignant neoplasias.
