title: [Infiltration of the eyelids and orbit as the first sign of generalized lymphoma].
abstract: The authors discusses the clinical signs in patients with tumorous infiltrations. In 11 among 12 persons these signs were the first pathological changes of a systemic condition--malignant lymphoma. Only in one patient one found simultaneously the enlarged peripheral lymphatic nodes++ and the liver. In 3 cases pathological changes afflicted the orbit, in 4 cases the lids, in 5--the orbit and the lids. The collection of the material by means of aspiration fine-needle biopsy and the computer tomography are efficient methods in establishing the diagnosis of lymphoma and its extensiveness. The possibility of repeating of these methods has a considerable importance in the control of the dynamics of the pathological processes.
