The clinical, follow up and diagnostic features of a case of chemodectoma (paraganglioma) of the orbit are reviewed. 30 cases are reported in the literature. Chemodectoma may arise in any area of the body where non chromaffin paraganglion structures are situated. These are localized in the orbit of the chimpanzee but not in the orbit of man. Malignant behavior of chemodectoma has been a controversial subject, with most authors considering them to be benign tumors. Some authors have diagnosed locally recurrent and infiltrative tumors as malignant. The authors report one case of chemodectoma of the orbit. A 5 year old child has had right exophthalmos. She was treated by tumorectomy. The follow-up is marked by recurrence of the tumor and infiltration of the right hemi-face.
本文回顾了1例眼眶化学感受器瘤（副神经节瘤）的临床、随访及诊断特征。文献报道了30例。化学感受器瘤可发生于身体中非嗜铬性副神经节结构所在的任何部位。这些结构存在于黑猩猩的眼眶中，但不存在于人类眼眶。化学感受器瘤的恶性行为一直是一个有争议的话题，大多数作者认为它们是良性肿瘤。一些作者将局部复发和浸润性肿瘤诊断为恶性。作者报告了1例眼眶化学感受器瘤病例。一名5岁儿童出现右眼球突出。她接受了肿瘤切除术治疗。随访显示肿瘤复发并浸润右半侧面部。
