title: Subconjunctival orbital fat prolapse.
abstract: Subconjunctival orbital fat prolapse is a benign entity in which fat herniates through Tenon's capsule. It is often confused with other lesions such as lacrimal gland tumors, lymphoid tumors and lipodermoids. The clinical and computed tomographic findings in a series of 15 patients are presented, and the features that are helpful in the differential diagnosis are discussed.
