Abstract
Objective: To analyze computed tomography (CT) manifestations of space-occupying lesions of the orbital bone and their relationship with histopathology. Methods: The clinical data of 15 patients with orbital bone occupying lesions confirmed by clinical manifestations , imaging features and pathological symptoms features were retrospectively collected, and their CT examination, histopathological sections and other clinical manifestations were analyzed. Results: Among the 15 patients, 4 cases were pathologically diagnosed with osteoma, 3 cases of intraosseous hemangioma, 2 cases of osteoid osteoma and 2 cases of ossifying fibroma, 3 cases of eosinophilic granuloma and 1 case of Ewing’s sarcoma. Osteoma was composed of mature lamellar bones, which corresponded to a high-density osteoid nodular protuberance on CT. The pathological features of intraosseous hemangioma were mainly malformed blood vessels between bone trabeculae and typical “fence” and “honeycomb” features on CT. Osteoid osteoma was mainly composed of bone-like tissue and connective tissue, mainly showing round high-density shadow, typical low-density “tumor nest” shadow in the center, and hypertrophic bone density shadow in the periphery. Ossifying fibroma was composed of proliferative fibrous tissue and bone-like tissue. CT showed that the surface of the tumor was often surrounded by bone shell, and the lesions were mostly round or oval. Eosinophilic granuloma was mainly composed of a large number of Langerhans cells, which corresponded to the soft tissue mass on CT and could be accompanied by osteolytic destruction. Ewing’s sarcoma was mainly composed of poorly differentiated small round cells, and CT manifestations were worm-eaten bone destruction with soft tissue lesions between destroyed bone tissues. Conclusion: Various lesions occurring in the orbital bone have their own special pathological composition. Different pathological components show corresponding imaging features on CT.
(A) Horizontal CT showed the increased density of the left inferior orbital wall with uniform density and obvious edge. The edge of the tumor was regular, without dissolution and destruction; (B) Coronal CT showed high-density shadow of the infraorbital wall, protruding into the orbit and squeezing the eyeball; (C) A small amount of fibrous connective tissue and bone trabeculae were seen under the microscope (HE, ×5).

Figure 2 CT images and pathological findings of intraosseous hemangioma
(A) CT image of patient 1: The swelling growth tumor shadow of the right cheekbone is palisade like and honeycomb like mixed density shadow. The internal density is uneven, and thick bone ridge shadow can be seen; (B) Pathological results of patient 1: Vascular structures (thick and thin arrows) with different lumen sizes can be seen between trabeculae (dotted arrows); (C) CT image of patient 2: right orbital bone mass, mixed high and low density; (D) Pathological results of case 2: The thin arrow points to periosteum; the dotted arrow points to osteoid matrix, and the thick arrow points to the spongy cavernous hemangioma structure between trabeculae (HE, ×5).

Figure 3 CT images and pathological findings with the orbit of osteoid osteoma
(A) Mass mixed density shadow in the left ethmoid sinus mass, dense sclerotic bone cortex surrounding a radiolucent "tumor nest", and growing in the left orbit, with bone discontinuity in the left orbital wall. Peripheral bone sclerosis images with increased density, uniform density, obvious edge, no dissolution, and no destruction; (B) Pathological results showed that the tumor tissue was composed of bone cells and osteoid matrix, containing fibrous tissue and osteoid trabeculae. The arrow points to trabeculae (HE, ×5); (C) The solid line arrow points to osteoclasts and the dotted arrow points to osteoblasts (HE, ×40).

Figure 4 CT images and pathological results of ossifying fibroma
(A) Patient 1: Coronal CT shows irregular shape and well-defined mass in the left orbital bone, showing heterogeneous medium and high-density soft tissue mass with bone components, which are closely related to bone wall defect; (B) Patient 2: Coronal CT shows irregular, well-defined mass in the right frontal bone, heterogeneous medium and high-density soft tissue mass with high-density shadow in the mass; (C) A large number of Langerhans cells can be seen (solid arrow) with diffuse eosinophils and a small number of small lymphocytes infiltration (HE, ×40).
图6 尤文肉瘤眼眶CT图像和病理学表现
Figure 6 CT images and pathological findings of Ewing’s sarcoma
(A) Horizontal CT showed osteolysis and destruction of the zygomatic process of the right maxilla, and the lesion involved the great wing of sphenoid bone backward; (B) Coronal CT showed that the lesion extended upward to the frontal bone and downward to the wall of maxillary sinus, with radial bone needle formation. The tumor penetrated through the bone cortex to form a soft tissue density mass, which bulged into the orbit and pushed the eyeball and orbital tissue to the medial side; (C, D) Small round cell tumor (solid arrow) with round nucleus, fine chromatin, and small nucleoli (HE, ×40); (D) Bone trabeculae between tumor cells (dotted arrow) (HE, ×5).
