Treatment of refractory orbital pseudotumors with pulsed chemotherapy.
Ophthal Plast Reconstr Surg. 1990; (2): 96-101
Five patients with orbital pseudotumor refractive to initial therapy are discussed. Three had a destructive granulomatous process associated with a sclerosing component. Two exhibited a predominantly lymphocytic infiltration. Chemotherapy with Prednisone (100 mg/day) and either Cytoxan (100 mg/day) or Chlorambucil (10 mg/day) in 5-day pulses is described. All patients responded clinically to this treatment without unfavorable side effects.
