There is no locality of its size in the human body so rich in the various tissues which may serve as the starting point for the development of tumors, both malignant and benign, of the orbit. In it we have bone, periosteum, muscular tissue, fat, fibrous and connective tissue, glands and mucous membrane, and in the capsule of Tenon a serous cavity lined with a serous membrane.
