Am J Ophthalmol. 1978 Oct;86(4):565-9. doi: 10.1016/0002-9394(78)90308-2.

Abstract

A 63-year-old woman had an osseous hemangioma of the orbital rim. Diagnosis of this primary bone tumor was made by its distinctive radiographic appearance and confirmed by pathologic, examination. Although this is a benign lesion, it is expansile and can cause ocular signs. Surgical resection is the recommended treatment.
