This review is from: Atlas of Orbital Tumors (Hardcover)

This is an excellent atlas with an endless array of photos of both common and uncommon orbital and periocular tumors. But that is really all this book is. The accompanying text is very limited as are discussions on management of these tumors. Also, I wish the book came with a CD containing digital images so that these images could be used in presentations, etc..
