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.
