Metastatic B-cell lymphoma of the cecum masquerading as Tolosa-Hunt syndrome.
METHODS
Imaging studies of a 41-year-old man who had developed a painful unilateral ophthalmoplegia showed a mass involving the right cavernous sinus region. The systemic workup disclosed a B-cell lymphoma in the cecum.


CONCLUSIONS
We report a case of metastatic cecum lymphoma masquerading as Tolosa-Hunt syndrome.
