Orbital Lymphoma as Cause of Proptosis in Right Eye
Journal Title: International Journal of Ophthalmology & Eye Science (IJOES) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Purpose: A case of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma is presented in the right orbit, which, after treatment with excisional biopsy plus chemotherapy, reached a favorable resolution after 9 months of treatment. Case report: 83-year-old male, who at physical exam presents with infraorbital proptosis at the right eye and a 1 cm mobile mass in the right orbit. An excisional biopsy via transconjunctival inferior orbitotomy showed a non-Hodking B cell lymphoma. Discussion: Surgical resection plus chemotherapy gave a favorable outcome at follow-up. The fundamental pillars for a good therapeutic approach is the correct histological classification, and the timely multidisciplinary management in this type of diagnosis. Conclusion: The correct histological classification and appropriate multidisciplinary management of these patients are the fundamental pillars of good therapeutic results.
