Summary
A case of a cholesterol-containing granuloma of the orbit studied by bone scanning and selective carotid angiography is presented. Bone scanning with 99mDisphosphonate disclosed a solitary focus of intense activity in the right orbitofrontal region. On the selective angiogram of the right external carotid artery a faint vascular blush was found in the orbital wall.
