Abstract

A 33-year-old male patient presented with swelling and pain in the left upper eyelid, forward protrusion and downward displacement of the left globe for the last 2½ months. He was pretty good before that time. He has visited a nearby ophthalmologist and treated him as a non-specific orbital inflammatory disease (NSOID), and he has taken oral corticosteroids for the last two months. The pain was reduced but not completely regressed. Then, He referred to Oculoplastic services in a tertiary eye hospital and underwent an incision biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. The histopathology report confirmed high-grade lymphoma diagnosis and advised open biopsies for immunohistostaining. Orbital inflammation may mask malignancy.
