Orbital Tumor
Treatment
An orbital tumor is an abnormal growth that forms around the eye socket that needs to be examined. Because it’s such a small and sensitive space, even tiny growths in the orbital area can be extremely problematic and require medical attention. The sooner an orbital tumor is looked at, the less likely it will be to cause damage to the area.
The doctors at Eyesthetica routinely perform surgery on eyelid growths ranging from small benign moles to large skin cancers, and have extensive experience reconstructing the eyelids and surrounding facial structures. In all eyelid surgeries, the goal is to minimize scarring and preserve the function of the eyelids so as to protect the eye. In addition to removing and diagnosing potentially dangerous lesions, our doctors will prioritize maximizing your cosmetic appearance.

How Do I Know if I Should Have My Eyelid Bump Removed?
There are many different reasons to have eyelid bumps and orbital eye tumors evaluated and removed. Common complaints related to these growths include irritation, itching, cosmetic deformity, and interference with one’s vision. Larger tumors can weigh down on the eyelid and sometimes limit its normal function.
While many orbital eye tumors are benign, cancerous tumors can also occur on the eyelids and surrounding structures. These cancers most commonly include basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, but more dangerous cancers such as melanoma and sebaceous carcinoma can also occur. Risk factors for cancer around the eye include a history of sun exposure, previous skin cancer, other diagnoses of cancer, and immunocompromised health status.
Could My Eyelid Bump Be Skin Cancer?
The most important factor in preventing the spread and complications of skin cancers is early detection by careful examination with an eyelid specialist. We believe that equal care should be taken in repair and reconstruction to have the most functional and cosmetically-appealing results while also removing all of the cancerous tissue.

How Do You Perform Orbital Tumor Surgery on Eyelid Tumors?
Small tumors of the eyelid can often be biopsied or removed in an office setting with the use of a local anesthetic. Reconstruction methods are tailored to each patient and the specific location of the skin lesion.
Orbital tumor surgery for larger tumors can usually be performed in an outpatient surgical setting. Removal of the tumor can be performed with a frozen section technique, where the tumor is evaluated and cleared during the surgery by a pathologist. We also work closely with Mohs surgeons who map the tumor excision three-dimensionally to ensure complete tumor removal. Reconstruction by the doctors at Eyesthetica can then be performed within the week.


Who Should I Trust for My Orbital Tumor Treatment?
Orbital tumor treatment, removal, and reconstruction are usually covered by insurance and can be performed in an outpatient setting. If you have a bothersome bump or suspicious growth around your eyelids, don’t let this tumor get out of control. Schedule an appointment with one of our skilled doctors for an evaluation and to learn more.
