A case report and a review of the literature of inflammatory pseudotumors of the orbit is presented. The lateral approach, using microsurgical technique, is described. The incidence of this primary granuloma is comparable to other orbital tumors, and the diagnosis is confirmed by histological study of a biopsy specimen. Surgical excision offers the best mode of treatment. Although steroids may help postoperatively, the prognosis is poorer if the tumors are large. Radiotherapy offers no benefit.

The pitfalls of traditional concepts in the management of a felon are reviewed. A more rational and uniformly successful method is detailed. This consists of a midvolar, longitudinal incision of the fat pad where the majority of abscesses point. Other incisions are reserved for the few cases in which maximal tenderness is shown elsewhere. An abscess should always be drained where it points. It has not been our intent in this report to discuss the problems of extension of infection beyond the closed space of the distal fat pad or to deal with paronychias and eponychias that simulate a felon by their extension.
