Marginal zone B-cell orbital lymphoma with intracranial involvement

Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg. 2010 May-Jun;26(3):205-6. doi: 10.1097/IOP.0b013e3181b8e0bf.

Abstract

A 40-year-old woman presented to the eye clinic with painless swelling of her right lower eyelid of 2 years' duration. Examination revealed severe loss of vision in the right eye with hypoglobus and exotropia. CT showed a diffuse right orbital infiltrative lesion with extension to the brain parenchyma. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of orbital marginal zone B-cell lymphoma, which is an indolent type of lymphoma that can be associated with systemic lymphoma, but the intracranial association has not been previously described.
