Abstract

Malignant lymphoma in the eye and its adnexa can occur rarely as a primary tumor as well as a part of disseminated malignant lymphoma. A case of bilateral conjunctival involvement in the disseminated lymphocytic type malignant lymphoma in a 60 year-old male patient is reported because of its rarity and review of the literature is made. Other organ involvement includes cervical, axillary, hilar and inguinal lymphnodes, liver, spleen and bone marrow.
