This paper reviews current concepts in the management of primary nonlymphoid orbital malignancies, reexamined on the basis of a large personal series (54 cases). Therapeutic control of orbital primary nonlymphoid malignancies can be achieved only in a limited number of cases. We advise the complete removal of all suspected epithelial tumors of the lacrimal gland; if a malignancy is not completely removed, the choice is between tumor excision and exenteration.

Abstract
This paper reviews current concepts in the management of primary nonlymphoid orbital malignancies, reexamined on the basis of a large personal series (54 cases). Therapeutic control of orbital primary nonlymphoid malignancies can be achieved only in a limited number of cases. We advise the complete removal of all suspected epithelial tumors of the lacrimal gland; if a malignancy is not completely removed, the choice is between tumor excision and exenteration.
