Welcome to the Orbital/Facial Tumors webpage at Hawthorne Clinic, led by the renowned specialist, Dr. Arthur F. Smith.
Understanding Orbital/Facial Tumors
Orbital/facial tumors refer to the growth of abnormal cells that develop within the eye socket (orbit) or on the face. These tumors may arise from various structures such as the bones, soft tissues, blood vessels, or nerves.
At Hawthorne Clinic, we provide comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment options for patients suffering from orbital and facial tumors. Dr. Arthur F. Smith, with his vast experience in the field, is committed to delivering the highest quality of care and personalized treatment plans to patients.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Symptoms associated with orbital/facial tumors may vary depending on the location, size, and type of the tumor. Some common signs include:
- Swelling or lumps on the face or around the eye
- Proptosis (bulging of the eye)
- Double vision or vision changes
- Eye pain or pressure
- Restricted eye movement
- Nasal congestion or sinus issues
Diagnosing orbital/facial tumors requires a comprehensive evaluation, which may include:
- Physical examination and medical history review
- Imaging tests (MRI, CT, or ultrasound) to assess the size, location, and type of the tumor
- Biopsy for further analysis of the tumor cells
- Consultation with a multidisciplinary team of experts to develop an optimal treatment plan
Treatment Options
Once a diagnosis is made, Dr. Arthur F. Smith and the team at Hawthorne Clinic work closely with each patient to develop a tailored treatment plan. The approach depends on several factors, including the type and size of the tumor, as well as the patient's overall health and personal preferences.
Treatment options for orbital/facial tumors may include:
- Surgical removal of the tumor: In cases where the tumor is localized and removable without affecting vital structures, Dr. Smith employs advanced surgical techniques to ensure optimal outcomes.
- Radiation therapy: This treatment utilizes targeted radiation to destroy cancer cells, particularly in cases where surgery is not feasible or as a follow-up to surgery to eliminate remaining cancer cells.
- Chemotherapy: Drugs are used to kill cancer cells in patients where the tumor has spread or cannot be removed surgically.
- Immunotherapy: By stimulating the patient's immune system, this treatment assists in fighting tumor cells.
