| Abstract |
|
Leukemia accounts for 2 to 11 percent of orbital tumors in childhood. We experienced a case of unilateral proptosis by leukemic cell infiltration, involving the central nervous system in a 3 year old boy. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia was confirmed by bone marrow aspiration cytology and biopsy, and proptosis improved with chemotherapy alone. We report this very unusual condition with a review of pervious reports. |
