J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1987 Sep-Oct;11(5):891-4. doi: 10.1097/00004728-198709000-00030.

Abstract

This is a report of the magnetic resonance study in a case of orbital metastasis from a carcinoid tumor. A rather unusual feature of this lesion was its relatively short T2 as compared with other metastatic orbital lesions.
