[Orbital sarcoidosis (author's transl)].

In case of an isolated orbital tumour, which evolves rapidly in a patient, whom general condition is good and who shows no other signs, the possibility of a sarcoidosis must be considered. The diagnosis will be confirmed by a biopsy and often by a tomography of the pulmonary hila, a radiography of the hands and feet as well as by the efficacity of the corticosteroid treatment.
