About Orbital Lymphoma

Orbital lymphoma is a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that originates in the tissues of the eye socket (orbit). Diagnosis and management are performed by an ophthalmologist, often in collaboration with an oncologist. The procedure typically involves a detailed ophthalmic examination, imaging studies like MRI or CT scans, and a confirmatory biopsy of the orbital tissue. Treatment is tailored to the specific type and stage of lymphoma and may include localized radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy. The primary goals are to preserve vision, relieve symptoms like proptosis (bulging eye) or diplopia (double vision), and achieve long-term remission of the cancer.

Key Highlights
