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

    Targeted treatment for a rare orbital cancer.Multidisciplinary approach involving ophthalmology and oncology.Focus on vision preservation and symptom relief.Treatment plans are highly individualized based on lymphoma type and stage.Can involve advanced therapies like precision radiation or monoclonal antibodies.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Presence of a painless, progressive mass or swelling in the eye socket (orbit).
  • Proptosis (forward displacement of the eyeball).
  • Diplopia (double vision) or restricted eye movements.
  • Palpable lump on the eyelid or around the eye.
  • Unexplained vision changes or visual field defects.
  • Findings on imaging (CT/MRI) suggestive of an orbital tumor.

How to prepare

  • Comprehensive ophthalmic examination including visual acuity and motility assessment.
  • Orbital imaging with contrast (MRI or CT scan) to map the tumor.
  • Systemic evaluation (blood tests, PET-CT) to rule out widespread disease.
  • Biopsy planning to obtain a tissue sample for definitive diagnosis.
  • Discussion of treatment options, risks, and expected outcomes with the medical team.
  • Pre-anesthetic check-up if a surgical biopsy or procedure is planned.

Risks & possible complications

  • General risks of biopsy: bleeding, infection, or damage to surrounding structures.
  • Side effects of radiation therapy: dry eye, cataract formation, retinopathy, or optic neuropathy.
  • Side effects of chemotherapy or immunotherapy: fatigue, nausea, lowered blood counts, or increased infection risk.
  • Potential for recurrence of the lymphoma.
  • Vision changes, including rare risk of vision loss.
  • Scarring or cosmetic changes in the orbital area.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Post-biopsy: Mild swelling and discomfort managed with pain medication; keep the area clean.
  • After radiation: Regular use of prescribed lubricating eye drops; monitoring for dry eye or cataract development.
  • During systemic therapy: Close monitoring for side effects with scheduled oncology follow-ups.
  • Regular follow-up appointments with the ophthalmologist for vision checks and orbital imaging.
  • Protecting the eyes from sun exposure and trauma.
  • Reporting any new symptoms like increased pain, redness, or vision changes immediately.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 0-3 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: Several weeks to months

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to a couple of...

I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Karunakaran actually listened. He asked a lot of questions I hadn't been asked before and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't showing up on the standard scans. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I had the surgery at MGM last month and feel like myself again.
