Abstract
AA is a 36-year-old woman who presented with bulging of her right eye over several weeks. She denied pain or double vision. Examination found exophthalmometry measurements of 21 mm OD and 16 mm OS. A CT scan showed a probable mass lesion, and an excisional biopsy was scheduled. An ultrasound consultation was ordered, and the findings were reported as most consistent with orbital pseudotumor based on low internal reflectivity (Fig. 1). The lesion did not have the molding effect commonly seen with orbital lymphoma. The patient was started on high-dose oral steroids based on this report and was reexamined the day before surgery. The lesion could not be detected at that time, and this supported the diagnosis of pseudotumor.
