==Diagnostic Investigations==
  −
 
  −
===Palpation===
  −
 
  −
Placing pressure through the eyelids can help determine the location and contents of the globes.
  −
 
  −
===Oral Examination===
  −
 
  −
In the presence of '''exopthalmos''', pain on opening the mouth indicates an '''inflammatory''' process, whilst no pain indicates a '''neoplastic''' process. Where possible the soft tissue caudal to the rear upper molar should be palpated.
  −
 
  −
===Ultrasound===
  −
 
  −
Useful for evaluating soft tissue masses
  −
 
  −
===MRI/CT===
  −
 
  −
Useful for localising lesions, surgical planning and FNA/biopsies where appropriate.
