Bilateral Lacrimal Gland Lymphoma - Case Presentation.

Lacrimal gland lymphomas are rare orbital tumors, constituting a minor fraction of all orbital and ocular adnexal malignancies. This case study presents an 83-year-old male with bilateral lacrimal gland tumors, more prominent in the left orbit, causing decreased visual acuity, red eye, excessive tearing, and diplopia. Initial ophthalmological evaluations and imaging suggested bilateral lacrimal gland lymphoma, confirmed by histopathology as diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the MALT type. Due to the significant tumor size and risk of visual function loss, surgical intervention was performed, followed by corticosteroid therapy. Postoperatively, a marked improvement in symptoms and a reduction in tumor size were observed. This case underscores the importance of comprehensive diagnostic approaches, including clinical, imaging, and histopathological evaluations, highlighting the need for a multidisciplinary approach in managing rare orbital tumors like lacrimal gland lymphoma. The patient's postoperative and follow-up care included oncological management to monitor and ensure long-term disease control and patient well-being.
