Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a systemic disease and various organs can therefore be affected. Ocular manifestations of non-Hodgkin lymphomas are possible but involvement of the eyelids or lacrimal glands are uncommon.
CASE REPORT: A 63-year-old female patient suffered from a painless upper eyelid swelling of the left eye for 3 weeks. The anterior and posterior parts of the eyes showed no pathologic signs and X-ray examination of both orbits revealed no pathologic findings. Magnetic resonance imaging and computer tomography of the head revealed a neoplasm of the left lacrimal gland and also of the left parotid gland. The histologic examination revealed a recurrent non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
CONCLUSIONS: The causes of eyelid swellings can be multiple, however, painless swellings may also be caused by neoplasms. In the case described here it was interesting that behind a painless eyelid swelling even a systemic disorder was hidden, i.e. a recurrence of a non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which was localized in the lacrimal gland.
