Orbital B-cell Lymphoma Masquerading As Dry Eye Disease.

Orbital lymphoma is a rare tumor with an incidence of 2.02 per million per year. It can occur as a part of systemic lymphoma or spontaneously arise primarily in orbit. The most commonly reported malignant lymphoma is non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The typical clinical finding includes exophthalmos, swelling, and limited eye movement. Our patient presented with dryness and irritation of the eye without signs of proptosis until months later. The definitive diagnosis of orbital lymphoma requires a biopsy. Still, imaging studies such as MRI and CT scans play a critical role in distinguishing benign from malignant lesions and invasion of local tissues. The treatment of orbital lymphoma is multidisciplinary, involving surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy depending on the histological type of tumor and the presence of metastasis.
