Primary paranasal sinus lymphoma is an uncommon malignancy that accounts for only 0.17% of all lymphomas and is often difficult to diagnose. Initially, tumors in this area cause very few symptoms and are at an advanced stage at the time of diagnosis. Ophthalmologic signs and symptoms occur early in the disease process because of close proximity of the orbit to the paranasal sinuses. We report on a case of primary malignant lymphoma of the sphenoid and ethmoid sinuses with involvement of the cavernous sinus, initially presenting with ophthalmologic signs and symptoms in association with cavernous sinus syndrome.
原发性鼻窦淋巴瘤是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤，仅占所有淋巴瘤的0.17%，且常难以诊断。起初，该区域的肿瘤引起的症状很少，在诊断时往往已处于晚期。由于眼眶与鼻窦毗邻，眼科体征和症状在疾病过程中出现较早。我们报告一例蝶窦和筛窦原发性恶性淋巴瘤累及海绵窦的病例，最初表现为与海绵窦综合征相关的眼科体征和症状。
