Abstract:
Malignant lymphoma is neoplastic transformation of cells that reside predominantly in lymphoid tissues. Malignant lymphoma involving the eye is a rare disease. Malignant lymphoma of the lid is extremely rare. The authors experienced a case of malignant lymphoma involving the lid in a 62 year-old male patient. At first visit, the patient complained of a palpable painless mass on the left upper eye lid. Later, the malignant lymphoma was confirmed by histopathologic examination. As for treatment, the lid mass excision was performed and 10 MeV electron beam 4000 rad radiotherapy was followed.
