Gallium scanning in the diagnosis and management of orbital lymphoma: a case report.
OBJECTIVE
To illustrate the utility of gallium scintigraphy in the diagnosis and management of orbital lymphoma.


METHODS
A patient with an orbital lymphoma is reported. The results of the computed tomography scan and gallium scan are reviewed.


RESULTS
Although the orbital lymphoma was readily visible on the gallium scan, it was poorly visualized on the computed tomography scan, which was interpreted as normal.


CONCLUSIONS
Gallium scanning is a valuable adjunct in the diagnosis and management of orbital and systemic lymphoma.
