Scleral folding: a manifestation of orbital lymphoma.
A 72-year-old man with rapidly progressing, undifferentiated right orbital lymphoma is described. This was manifested by marked exophthalmos and a large inferior scleral fold, both of which responded rapidly to chemotherapy. The usual response of the globe to a localized mass is the development of retinal striae or choroidal folds. This case, however, was unusual in that a large scleral fold developed and resolved without any lasting deficit.
