title: T-cell lymphoma of the upper eyelid: a case report and review of the literature.
abstract: We present the case report of a 95-year-old white female with a cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) of the upper eyelid. Due to her comorbid medical problems, multidisciplinary tumor board recommendation for treatment was surgical excision. She underwent excision with frontalis muscle flap and contralateral eyelid full thickness skin graft reconstruction. The patient has been symptom free for 3.5 years. A literature review of cutaneous CTCL isolated to the eyelid is included.
