Orbital lymphoma: imaging features and differential diagnosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
PURPOSE Patterns of orbital lymphoma at diagnosis and follow-up are described. We also discuss differential diagnosis of orbital masses. MATERIALS AND METHODS This pictorial review contains 19 cases of orbital lymphoma before and after treatment. Superior-lateral quadrant and extra-conal location were observed predominantly. Effective response after treatment was presented on follow-up imaging, although few local relapses were found. Further follow-up showed no changes of residual images. DISCUSSION Location of orbital masses can help in the differential diagnosis. Moreover, imaging features of lymphoma at diagnosis can be useful in planning surgical biopsy. Pattern of follow-up described may be relevant on monitoring imaging. TEACHING POINTS : • Orbital lymphoma involves mainly superior-lateral quadrant and the orbital structures inside. • Location of retrobulbar mass-like lesions are useful information in the differential diagnosis. • Satisfactory response is detected after treatment, however relapse is noted, so follow-up is needed.

Introduction: Orbital pseudotumor, also known as idiopathic orbital inflammatory syndrome (IOIS), is a benign, non- infective inflammatory condition of the orbit without identifiable local or systemic causes. The disease may mimics a variety of pathologic conditions. We present a case of pseudotumor observed in a patient admitted under the name of orbital cellulities. Case Report: A 26-year...
متن کاملMR imaging of Tolosa-Hunt syndrome.
The Tolosa-Hunt syndrome consists of painful ophthalmoplegia caused by cavernous sinus inflammation, which is responsive to steroid therapy. The MR features of 11 patients with the clinical diagnosis of Tolosa-Hunt syndrome were studied. Two patients had normal MR studies of the orbit and cavernous sinuses. In nine patients, abnormal signal and/or mass lesions were seen in the cavernous sinuses...
متن کاملSensitivity of gallium scintigraphy for evaluation of recurrent lymphoma: Comparison of planar and SPECT imaging
Introduction: Although PET scanning using F-18[FDG] is considered the superior radiotracer for tumnor imaging, Gallium-67 is still in use for some malignancies such as lymphoma and hepatoma. One of the strategies to improve the diagnostic accuracy of Gallium is to perform SPECT which is reported to be more sensitive compared to planar imaging. In this study we compa...
