Orbital Lymphoma: About a Case Revealing Diagnosis Challenges
Keywords:
Lymphoma, Orbital, exophtalmia, rhinosinusalAbstract
Orbital lymphoma is rare by its localization. It’s usually a B cell lymphoma. The diagnosis relies on the histological study after a biopsy. The biopsy could be a challenge depending on the area of the tumor and the anatomical structures near the lesion. In the article we are presenting a case of patient with a tumor located in the orbit. Usually, the biopsy is made through the skin. The endonasal way for a biopsy of an orbital tumor can be more useful and safer than a classic way through the skin. Here are an article describing a case of orbital lymphoma, management and the characteristics of the pathology.
