    Fig 1.

    Bilateral subconjunctival fat prolapse in a 61-year-old man. Precontrast axial T1-weighted MR image demonstrates the herniated fat at the superotemporal aspect of bilateral epibulbar area, continuous with the intraconal fat, which extends anteriorly between the lateral wall of the globe medially and the lateral rectus muscle and the lacrimal gland laterally (arrows).

    Fig 2.

    Unilateral subconjunctival fat prolapse in a 67-year-old man. Precontrast axial CT scan shows the herniated fat at the superotemporal aspect of the right epibulbar area (arrow). As in Fig 1, the prolapsed fat is continuous with the intraconal fat and lies between the lateral wall of the eyeball medially and the lateral rectus muscle and the lacrimal gland laterally.

    Fig 3.

    Dermolipoma in a 25-year-old woman. Precontrast axial CT scan demonstrates the crescent-shaped fatty mass at the superotemporal aspect of the right epibulbar area, which abuts the lateral wall of the eyeball, anterior to the insertion of the lateral rectus muscle and medial to the lacrimal gland (arrow). It has no connection to the intraconal fat. The lesion also contained a focal soft-tissue strand in the inferior portion (not shown).
