[MALT (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) lymphoma of the lacrimal gland].
MALT lymphoma of the lacrimal gland is rare. Orbital involvement is usually located on the anterior orbit. We report the case of a 65-year-old man consulting for an eyelid tumor located on the right upper and lateral lid, which clinically recalled lacrimal gland involvement. The gland biopsy and the immunohistochemical analysis concluded in the diagnosis of B and MALT lymphoma. The assessment of the ganglion and extra-ganglion enlargement of these lymphomas is of capital importance in treatment. A multidisciplinary analysis, especially oncological, is important so that the best therapeutic plan can be adopted.
