Abstract

Lymphomas of the lacrimal gland are rare, but account for 37% of all malignant tumors of the gland. We report a case of a 40-year-old female with painless gradually progressive mass in both upper eyelids for last 6 months. The CT and MRI scans revealed heterogeneously enhancing symmetrical extra and intra conal lesion involving the superior and lateral rectus muscle on both sides,. The patient underwent excisional biopsy, which revealed features of small round cell tumor most probably Lymphoma. The final diagnosis was bilateral lacrimal gland lymphoma, a rare entity. The patient received chemotherapy and achieved complete remission.
