Squamous cell carcinoma was the most common neoplasm found in a review of case records of 21 cats with histopathologically confirmed orbital neoplasms. Other neoplasms found were lymphosarcoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, malignant melanoma, adenocarcinoma, fibrosarcoma, chondroma, and hemangiosarcoma. Three (14%) neoplasms were primary, 15 (71%) were secondary, invading the orbit from adjacent tissues, and 3 (14%) were a manifestation of multicentric disease. The most common clinical sign was exophthalmia, followed by chronic epiphora, enophthalmia, and strabismus. Mean survival time after diagnosis was 1.9 months. Ten cats were euthanatized at the time of diagnosis because of extensive disease. Mean survival time of the other 11 cats was 4.3 months. Skull radiography was helpful in diagnosing orbital neoplasms in 8 of 11 cats that had invasion of the orbit by adjacent neoplasms.
在一项对21只经组织病理学确诊为眼眶肿瘤的猫的病例记录回顾中，鳞状细胞癌是最常见的肿瘤。发现的其他肿瘤有淋巴肉瘤、未分化癌、恶性黑色素瘤、腺癌、纤维肉瘤、软骨瘤和血管肉瘤。3例（14%）肿瘤为原发性，15例（71%）为继发性，从相邻组织侵犯眼眶，3例（14%）为多中心疾病的表现。最常见的临床症状是眼球突出，其次是慢性溢泪、眼球内陷和斜视。诊断后的平均生存时间为1.9个月。10只猫因病情广泛在诊断时实施了安乐死。其他11只猫的平均生存时间为4.3个月。颅骨X线摄影对11只因相邻肿瘤侵犯眼眶的猫中的8只诊断眼眶肿瘤有帮助。
