Abstract EN
We report a rare case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of the lacrimal sac in a 50-year-old male.
The incidence of primary ocular lymphoma is low and it is considered a rare disease.
Moreover, reports of ocular DLBCL are uncommon and the disease remains poorly characterized.
Our patient presented for management of osteomyelitis and was incidentally found to have a painless swelling and cyst around his right eye.
A PET/CT scan revealed hypermetabolic activity within the lacrimal sac and a subsequent excisional biopsy of the mass yielded histopathology consistent with DLBCL.
Consequently, the patient underwent treatment with R-CHOP therapy.
The patient responded well to chemotherapy with a substantial shrinkage in tumor burden and the disease remained localized.
Herein, we present a rare case of primary ocular lymphoma, highlight the importance of early diagnosis, and review current treatment modalities.
