title: Mantle cell lymphoma in a lacrimal gland in a female and a review of the literature.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a rare case of Mantle cell lymphoma in lacrimal gland and review of the literature
  
  
  METHODS
  We report a case of a 59-year-old female who presented with an upper eyelid mass in the right eye for 3 months, without pain and irrigation. A computerized tomography (CT) scan showed a mass in the bilateral lacrimal gland region, more significant in right eye. The patient underwent a lacrimal gland mass excision surgery and diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma by histopathology. Immunochemistry for CD20, CD79a, CD5, and CyclinD1 was positive. She was recommended to the Shantou cancer hospital for chemotherapy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Mantle cell lymphoma is a rare type of malignant lymphoma, over expressing CD5 and cyclin D1 antigens, which distinguishes it from other B cell lymphomas.
