One mth later after surgical resection & chemoRx.
Resolution of lesion is seen after resection and chemo-radiotherapy. Good response is seen. Mass is completely resected.
Case Discussion
Lymphoma accounts for 50% of malignant orbital tumors. Due to its high cellularity, it often has low signal intensity on T2 (isointense to muscle).
