Abstract:
Lymphoma forms the largest group of lymphoproliferative disorder in the orbit. Orbit CT scan and biopsy are very helpful for diagnosis. Main treatment is radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The authors experienced a case of orbital lymphoma in a 45-year-old male who visited our hospital due to proptosis of the right eye. Histopathologic result showed diffuse small lymphocytic Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. We present this case and discuss its management.
