Atypical lymphoid proliferation of the orbit

Abstract: Objective: Lymphoproliferative disorders are a group of lesions characterized by abnormal proliferation of lymphocytes. In the orbit, they can occur in the ocular adnexae. These neoplasms have defined clinical and pathologic characteristics and account for more than 20% of all orbital tumors. Several types of lymphoproliferative lesions have been described in the orbit. One example is lymphoid hyperplasia, which commonly involves the lacrimal gland. A benign lesion like lymphoid hyperplasia will show a general normal archetype of the tissues-involved lacrimal gland. We expect a polyclonal group of cells with more or less normal architecture of a follicle. On the other hand, lymphoma will show less organized arrangement of cells, and we expect them to be of monoclonal lineage.Methods: This is a case report of a 55-year-old Filipino female who came in for blurring of vision of both eyes. During her assessment, there was an incidental finding of bilateral upper eyelid swelling, and...
