Mass like enlargement of the right orbital medial rectus muscle with axial width up to 22 x 18 mm and right eye proptosis and exodeviation are seen. The impression and deformity on the related orbital posterior medial wall due to the mass lesion are also noted. Pronounced impression on adjacent optic nerve sheath complex is noted.
