    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Oncology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Primary amyloidosis is a rare condition characterized by abnormal protein deposits.
    • Lacrimal gland masses can present diagnostic challenges.
    • Distinguishing benign from malignant orbital lesions is crucial for patient management.

    Observation:

    • A rare case of primary amyloidosis involving the lacrimal gland and orbit was identified.
    • Computed tomography (CT) scan imaging was utilized to evaluate the extent and characteristics of the lesion.
    • The clinical presentation and imaging findings were correlated to understand the disease process.

    Findings:

    • The study describes the specific CT scan findings associated with primary amyloidosis of the lacrimal gland and orbit.
    • Key imaging features that help differentiate this rare entity from other lacrimal gland masses are discussed.
