چکیده
REPORTS on intra-orbital tumours and causes of exophthalmos do not mention the disease entity ofeosinophilic granuloma first described by Lichtenstein and Jaffe (1940). Pfeiffer (1943), in reviewing 200 successive cases of exophthalmos, enumerated 31 different lesions, among which eosinophilic granuloma of the orbit was not listed. Forest (1949) reported on 222 cases of intra-orbital tumours collected from the registry of the U.S. Army Institute of Pathology, but did not include eosinophilic granuloma. Dandy (1941) did not mention this possibility in his monograph on orbital tumours.
