Factitious "calcification" in the lacrimal gland fossa.

Abstract

Computed tomographic (CT) scans are valuable in the evaluation of lacrimal gland fossa masses. Calcification in this region is considered a sign of malignancy. Silicone implants are widely used in orbital surgery and may give the appearance of calcification on CT scan. These must be distinguished from true calcification by the proper choice of the CT scan window.
