Background

Lymphomas of the orbit and orbital adnexa are important concerns in ophthalmologic practice; however, due to their nonspecific signs and symptoms, establishing a definitive diagnosis is often challenging.

Purpose

This study aimed to further expand understanding of these entities by assessing the histopathological subtypes and characteristic features of orbital lymphomas in a population undergoing orbital surgery at the Department of Ophthalmology in Katowice.

Methods

Between 2011 and 2017, a total of 107 orbital surgeries were performed for various orbital tumors.

n = 15 patients
Results
88.89%
nearly 9 in 10 patients had a lump you could feel, not other symptoms
n = 15 patients
More results

Histopathological examination identified B-cell lymphomas in 15 patients (8 women and 7 men; mean age, 65.61 years).

No significant changes in BCVA or intraocular pressure were observed postoperatively.

“
Conclusion · 1 of 2

Owing to its heterogeneous nature, orbital lymphoma may present with a wide range of clinical symptoms, often mimicking inflammatory conditions.

Conclusion · 2 of 2

Imaging studies and histopathological examination are essential for establishing the diagnosis and guiding subsequent treatment.
