Summary
Orbital lymphoma commonly affects the superior-lateral quadrant. Imaging is crucial for diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring relapses, guiding differential diagnosis of orbital masses.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Oncology
- Radiology
Background:
- Orbital lymphomas are rare malignancies.
- Accurate diagnosis and staging are crucial for effective management.
- Imaging plays a vital role in evaluating orbital masses.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe patterns of orbital lymphoma at diagnosis and follow-up.
- To aid in the differential diagnosis of orbital masses.
- To correlate imaging findings with treatment response.
Main Methods:
- Pictorial review of 19 orbital lymphoma cases.
- Analysis of pre- and post-treatment imaging.
- Evaluation of lesion location and characteristics.
Main Results:
- Predominant location: superior-lateral quadrant and extra-conal.
- Effective treatment response observed on follow-up imaging.
- Few local relapses noted, with stable residual lesions on further follow-up.
Conclusions:
- Orbital mass location aids differential diagnosis.
- Imaging features of lymphoma are useful for surgical biopsy planning.
- Follow-up imaging patterns are relevant for monitoring treatment response and detecting relapses.

DefinitionRenal angiography, also known as renal arteriography, is an imaging technique used to obtain a comprehensive view of blood flow and the vascular structure of blood vessels in the kidneys and surrounding areas.PurposeRenal angiography detects blood vessel abnormalities in the kidneys, such as aneurysms, stenosis, thrombosis, vascular tumors, and renal artery stenosis. It evaluates kidney function and guides interventional treatments like angioplasty or stent placement.Pre-Procedure...

DefinitionComputed Tomography (CT) of the genitourinary (GU) tract is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and adjacent structures such as the adrenal glands.PurposeCT scans of the GU tract serve several diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Diseases: Detects kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and congenital...
