title: Large cell orbital lymphoma in a patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Case report and review.
abstract: Despite the protean ocular manifestations of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), orbital involvement is rare and only one previous case of orbital non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) has been documented. We report a second case of NHL (large cell) of the orbit in a 28-year-old patient with a 4-year history of AIDS and review the context in which this lesion presented.
