SN 2010jl was an extremely bright, Type IIn SNe which showed a significant IRexcess no later than 90 days after explosion. We have obtained Spitzer 3.6 and4.5 \mum and JHK observations of SN 2010jl \sim90 days post explosion. Littleto no reddening in the host galaxy indicated that the circumstellar materiallost from the progenitor must lie in a torus inclined out of the plane of thesky. The likely cause of the high mid-IR flux is the reprocessing of theinitial flash of the SN by pre-existing circumstellar dust. Using a 3D MonteCarlo Radiative Transfer code, we have estimated that between 0.03-0.35 Msun ofdust exists in a circumstellar torus around the SN located 6 \times 10 ^17 cmaway from the SN and inclined between 60-80\cdot to the plane of the sky. Onday 90, we are only seeing the illumination of approximately 5% of this torus,and expect to see an elevated IR flux from this material up until day \sim 450.It is likely this dust was created in an LBV-like mass loss event of more than3 Msun, which is large but consistent with other LBV progenitors such as {\eta}Carinae.
