We report on our experience with 75 patients with orbital masses, studied with Computerized Tomography (CT), at the Ophtalmology and Radiology Services, Hospital Universitario San Vicente de Paúl, and University of Antioquia, School of Medicine, Medellín, Colombia. The most frequent lesions were: retinoblastoma, vascular lesions, infectious lesions, tumors of the lacrymal gland, mucocele, meningloma, melanoma, and metastatic masses. On the basis of our experience we highly recommend CT as the most valuable diagnostic procedure for the study of patients with proptosis and clinical signs of an orbital mass
