Orbital Tumor Evaluation & Treatment in Beverly Hills and Greater Los Angeles
Orbital tumors—abnormal growths affecting the eye socket—can be alarming and often require expert intervention to protect vision and facial function. These tumors may be benign or malignant and can originate in the orbit or spread from nearby areas such as the brain, sinuses, or nasal cavity. At the practice of Dr. Kami Parsa in Beverly Hills, patients receive the highest standard of diagnostic precision, surgical expertise, and compassionate care in managing orbital tumors. As one of the few fellowship-trained oculofacial surgeons in the region, Dr. Parsa provides specialized treatment for patients across Los Angeles, including Santa Monica, West Hollywood, Brentwood, Century City, and beyond.
What Are Orbital Tumors? Signs, Risks & Diagnosis
The orbit contains several critical structures: the eyeball, muscles, optic nerve, blood vessels, and supportive fat. Tumors may arise from any of these, or invade the orbit from surrounding tissues. In adults, benign tumors like cavernous hemangiomas and schwannomas are common, but malignant growths such as orbital lymphomas or metastases from breast and prostate cancer can also occur. In children, dermoid cysts and capillary hemangiomas are frequently seen, while rhabdomyosarcoma is the most worrisome malignant tumor.
Symptoms of orbital tumors vary but often include eye protrusion (proptosis), double vision, pain, vision loss, eyelid swelling, or a palpable mass. Some inflammatory conditions, like thyroid eye disease or idiopathic orbital pseudotumor, may mimic tumor symptoms. Early evaluation is critical to determine the underlying cause and avoid complications. Dr. Parsa uses advanced imaging—including high-resolution CT and MRI scans—to achieve an accurate diagnosis. If needed, an image-guided biopsy may be performed.
Treatment Options at Our Beverly Hills Practice
After a thorough consultation and review of imaging, Dr. Parsa develops a tailored treatment plan. Management may include careful observation, steroid therapy for inflammatory pseudotumor, radiation for certain malignancies, or surgical removal. In cases requiring excision, Dr. Parsa uses minimally invasive approaches whenever possible. Modern techniques—like intraoperative navigation, surgical lasers, and high-definition optics—maximize safety and cosmetic outcomes.
For patients with more extensive disease, reconstructive solutions are integrated into the surgical plan, ensuring form and function are preserved. Postoperative care is provided onsite, with concierge-level follow-up, patient education, and close coordination with oncology and radiation specialists when appropriate.
