| Summary: |
Purpose:
Periorbital skin alterations can be of inflammatory and
neoplastic origin. In very rare cases Non-Hodgkin
lymphomas occur in this region. We describe a patient
with a rare subtype of the Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which
was diagnosed by ophthalmologists.
Material and methods: A 65 years old female
patient visited an ophthalmologist because of a tumor
within the left supraorbital skin area. She complained
about subjective deterioration of vision. During the
ophthalmologic examination we found a full visual acuity
in both eyes with no bulbar pathology. Tumor biopsy and
an immunocytochemical examination determined the
diagnosis of an NK blastic lymphoma. The patient was
treated with CHOP chemotherapy.
Results and conclusions: It is believed that the
rare NK blastic lymphoma develops from NK progenitor
cells. When the periorbital skin is involved, the
secondary edema can lead to narrowing of the palpebral
fissure and to subjective vision deterioration. In these
cases ophthalmologists can be the first medical
specialists visited. |
