Objective: To evaluate the potential of MRI in differentiating between malignant lymphomas and atypical lymphocytic infiltrates in the orbit.

Materials And Methods: MRI, clinical and histopathological findings in 30 patients presenting with orbital lymphoproliferative diseases (malignant lymphoma and atypical lymphocytic infiltrates) were evaluated.
