Abstract

Recurrent periorbital cellulitis is a rare complication of sinus disease. To discuss the cause and management of recurrent periorbital cellulitis (RPOC) in a 53-year‐old male patient with a medical history of stage 1E nasal extra nodal NKT cell lymphoma in remission (hard palate mass and left nasal cavity involvement) treated in the past with chemoradiotherapy, consolidative therapy and multiple sinus surgeries. Although periorbital cellulitis is a commonly encountered and treatable condition, recurrent periorbital cellulitis is rare and may be challenging to manage [1-5]. In our experience, the causes of recurrence vary, but resolution in this case was achieved by identifying the underlying cause through continuous clinical reassessment and by appropriate medical or surgical management.
