Outcome and Prognosis
The outcome and prognosis ultimately depend on the pathological diagnosis.
Future and Controversies
Improved diagnostic modalities will enhance the ability of diagnosing orbital tumors. Stereotactic computer-guided imaging can help localize posterior lesions. Positron emission tomography (PET) is being investigated to identify the metabolic activity of orbital tumors.15
