Abstract:
Pseudolymphoma, the term clinically synonymous with pseudotumor, is one of the lymphoproliferative disease which frequently causes unilateral proptosis in adults. The clinical manifestations and the pathologic pictures may resemble that of a true neoplasm. Recently, immunologic methods such as immunofluorescent and immunohistochemical study were popularly used in the diagnosis and study of lymphoproliferative diseases. We have experienced three cases of pseudolymphoma of the orbit which were diagnosed with PAP(proxidase-antiperoxidase) stain of the immunohistochemical method.
