Abstract

Introduction: Orbital lymphoma is a rare presentation of extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, accounting for less than 1% of the total. The role of radiotherapy in its management is well-established. This is a report of a case of orbital lymphoma Materials and Methods: Clinical records and pathologic material of a patient woman of 62 age treated with local radiotherapy for localized orbital lymphoma. Treatment consisted of 36 Gy in 1.8-Gy fractions of irradiation using 6-MV photons with complex treatment planning for retrobulbar lesions. Median follow-up was 18 months Results: Local control was 100%. Cataracts was not observed in 8 of the treated eyes. Conclusion: In this case, localized orbital MALT lymphoma was well controlled with radiotherapy.
