Computed tomography (CT) of more than 90 orbital tumors revealed both benign and malignant neoplasms, including hemangiomas, lacrimal gland tumors, lymphomas, carcinomas, metastases, pseudotumors, and optic nerve tumors. Detection of orbital tumors was better and the information gained more complete with CT than with any other modality.
