Zusammenfassung
Die Augenhöhle ist die häufigste Lokalisation der Rhabdomyosarkome und gleichzeitig ist das Rhabdomyosarkom die häufigste maligne Geschwulstform der Augenhöhle im Kindesalter. Auf Grund von 55 Rhabdomyosarkomen der Augenhöhle, die in der Ophthalmologischen Abteilung des Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Washington, D. C., zur Untersuchung gelangten, können drei Typen unterschieden werden:
-
1.
der embryonale Typus (40 Fälle)
-
2.
der differenzierte Typus (6 Fälle)
-
3.
der alveolare Typus (9 Fälle).
Unter diesen kommt dem differenzierten Typus die beste Prognose zu. Therapeutisch ist die Radikalexcision der Bestrahlung vorzuziehen. Gesamthaft haben die Rhabdomyosarkome der Augenhöhle eine eher schlechte Prognose.
