ABSTRACT
Introduction: as result of the following clinical case report, we intend to review
the differential diagnosis of orbital tumors and review the existing literature in this
regard.
Case report: a 54-year-old smoking patient, consulted to our department
due to a progressive visual impairment over the last two years in her right eye. She
presented proptosis in her clinical examination. Imaging studies based on MRI and
PET-CT described a right intraconal lesion with an undefined morphology surrounding
the optic nerve. Orbital tumors differential diagnosis is delicate. Nevertheless,
Non-Hodgkin lymphomas followed by metastasis are the two most common found
in this location. The immunohistochemistry and molecular studies, confirmed the
suspected diagnosis of extranodal low-grade lymphoproliferative syndrome.
Discussion:
endoscopic management of these lesions may result in a lower comorbidity
compared to traditional external approaches. Role of surgery lays in obtainment of
a quality sample which allows a proper diagnosis.
Conclusions: multidisciplinary
approach with ophthalmologists, hematologists and radiotherapy experts enhance
good surgical and clinical results in the vast majority of cases.
