Description

This atlas is a complete pictorial and textual guide to the diagnosis and management of orbital tumors and pseudotumors. It features 804 photographs and surgical drawings - 528 in full color - that depict the clinical variations, histopathologic characteristics, and treatment of all benign and malignant orbital lesions. Coverage includes both common and rare conditions. The book is rich in clinical imaging, pathologic correlations, and clinical "pearls" based on the authors' 25 years of experience in medical and surgical ophthalmic oncology at the Wills Eye Hospital.Each entity is presented in an easy-to-follow format: a concise description with references on the left-hand page and six illustrations on the right-hand page. The photographs show in precise detail the gross and microscopic features that distinguish each type of lesion. Professional drawings and intraoperative photographs demonstrate key surgical principles and procedures. The three atlases prepared by Drs. Shields and Shields - "Atlas of Eyelid and Conjunctival Tumors", "Atlas of Intraocular Tumors", and "Atlas of Orbital Tumors" - can be purchased together as a money-saving package.
