title: Lacrimal gland and fossa lesions: role of computed tomography.
abstract: The lacrimal gland region can be involved in a wide spectrum of orbital pathology, including tumors and inflammatory and lymphoid lesions. This article focuses special attention on benign mixed tumors because of the excellent prognosis for the patient when it is completely excised at first surgery. The appearance of these lesions on CT is detailed in the illustrations of this article, and the findings of experts in the field are presented as well.
