Histiocytic lesions of the orbit: A study of 9 cases

Eosinophilic granuloma was the most frequently encountered orbital histiocytic lesion in our series. Eosiophilic granuloma usually responded well to subtotal tumor excision, bone curettage, and intraorbital corticosteroid injections. Systemic chemotherapy was used in cases with full thickness bone destruction and adjacent dural enhancement in an effort to prevent the development of central nervous system disease.
