Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (Eosinophilic Granuloma)

FINDINGS:
CECT shows a well defined enhancing mass in the superolateral right orbit, associated with erosion of the orbital roof and superolateral orbital rim. Configuration of the skull is consistent with that of a young child.

DISCUSSION:
In this age group and location, lymphoma and hemangioma should also be considered although the presence of bone destruction would be unusual. Primary lacrimal gland tumors such as mixed tumors, adenoid cystic, and mucoepidermoid would be unusual in a child.
