Abstract
Primary non-Hodgkin\u2032s lymphoma with unilateral proptosis and
diffuse involvement of the cra\uacnial vault and brain parenchyma is
extremely rare. A 50-year-old woman developed a progressively
increasing proptosis of her right eye, associated with a subcutaneous
mass over the right frontotemporal region over the last 5 months. CT
scan showed a high-density contrast-enhancing lesion with wide
involvement of the cranium and intracranial and intraorbital extension.
We performed a wedge biopsy for further analysis. Histological
examination revealed that the tumor was non-Hodgkin\u2032s lymphoma.
There was no evidence of systemic involvement. The patient received
radiotherapy and was doing well at 18 months\u2032 follow-up. Primary
malignant lymphoma involving the orbit and cranial vault is a rare
malignancy, and treatment remains to be defined
