Epstein-Barr virus-associated lymphoma of the orbit: Case report and review of the literature.

PURPOSE: Herein, the authors describe an unusual presentation of EBV-associated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in the bilateral orbits of an immunocompetent woman.

OBSERVATIONS: An elderly, immunocompetent woman presented with an orbital mass which was biopsied and proven to be EBV-associated lymphoma. The authors then performed a literature search and review which suggested this presentation to be rare as it has been infrequently reported in the ophthalmic literature.

CONCLUSIONS AND

IMPORTANCE

More research is needed to fully ascertain the importance of EBV in ocular adnexal lymphoma. The authors hope this case report adds to the body of literature a different presentation of EBV-associated ocular adnexal lymphoma.
