Primary orbital peripheral T-cell lymphoma is an exceedingly rare neoplastic disorder. Advances in laboratory methods and molecular pathology have greatly improved our ability to accurately diagnose this lymphoid malignant neoplasm. We report a case of primary extranodal peripheral T-cell lymphoma arising within the orbit. Atypical features of the clinical course are described.

Report of a Case

A 44-year-old man developed progressive diplopia and retro-orbital pain. Uncorrected visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes. Examination findings included hypertropia in the left eye, esotropia, and proptosis in the right eye (Figure 1). Orbital magnetic resonance imaging showed bilateral enlargement of the extraocular muscles, more pronounced on the right. Thyroid ultrasonography disclosed mild thyromegaly, but results of serum thyroid functions tests were normal. The patient was diagnosed as having thyroid-related immune orbitopathy and high-dose oral prednisone was prescribed, with prompt resolution of . . . [Full Text of this Article]
