Excerpt from Archives of Ophthalmology and Otology, Vol. 3 The long-continued pressure of this ever-slowly increasing growth had caused, by absorption, an increase in size and a change in direction of the outer border of the orbit. It had also in a measure displaced the nose from its median position. After leaving the orbit the growth had not spread out suddenly, becoming bulbous, but had retained a uniform diameter in every direction of about two inches and a half, which measured the degree of expansion of the orbital opening. The whole tumor, which was uniformly ovoidal in shape, possessed limited movements, synchronous with those of the sound eye. When firmly held and a to-and-fro movement imparted to the hand, similar movements were extended to the growth. Careful palpation elicited no fluctuation, although a decided feeling of elasticity pervaded the entire tumor.
