Systemic T-cell lymphoma presenting as an acute nonresolving eyelid mass.

A healthy 39-year-old man was referred with a 3-week history of nonresolving right upper eyelid cyst with no globe or orbital involvement. Histopathologic examination revealed a peripheral T-cell lymphoma of unspecified type, which was stage 3 on staging. He received combination cyclophosphamide, hydroxydoxorubicin, oncovin, and prednisolone therapy with an autologous bone marrow transplant and remains in complete remission 24 months posttreatment. A brief literature review of ocular adnexal T-cell lymphomas is presented.
