A case of an enlarged medial rectus muscle.
We present a case of an enlarged medial rectus from mucosal associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma that was misdiagnosed as thyroid orbitopathy for over 3 years. Extraocular muscles are most commonly associated with thyroid orbitopathy (TO), however, it is important to remember that they may also be manifestations of other conditions.
