Orbital lymphoma. Role of CT and MRI.
CT and MRI have made it possible to make a strongly presumptive diagnosis of orbital lymphoid tumors. Orbital lymphomas are usually homogeneous masses of relatively high density and sharp margins. The lesions mold themselves to pre-existing structures without eroding the bone. On MR imaging, they appear as relatively hypointense images, particularly in T1-weighted MR scans.
