| Popis: | A total of 145 patients with orbital dermoid cysts examined at the Orbital Clinic, Institute of Ophthalmology, School of Medicine, University of Naples ''Federico II'' over a period of 16 years were reviewed. The orbital cysts were classified as exophytic and endophytic, according to their site of attachment in relation to the orbital rims. This classification can explain the different natural history of these lesions. The exophytic cysts growing externally are discovered in childhood, whereas the endophytic ones are discovered later in life when they produce bone damage, with or without invasion of the adjacent structures. |
