Abstract
Lymphoma is one of the most common malignant tumor of the orbit in adults. Orbital lymphoma mainly consists of extranodal marginal zone B cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, follicular lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, infrequent NK/T cell lymphoma and Burkitt lymphoma. Diagnosis on orbital lymphoma remains challenging in that it is difficult to distinguish it from benign lesions, especially for low degree lymphomas. Combined examinations of histological, cytological and molecular features are required to make final differentiation. There are many treatment options for diagnosis of orbital lymphoma, such as surgical resection, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, monoclonal antibody targeted therapy, immunotherapy. The appropriate scenario of treatment on orbital lymphoma should be made based on the Ann Arbor or TNM staging system to determine the stage of orbital lymphoma at the moment for maximizing the results. The latest concepts on diagnosis and management of orbital lymphoma are reviewed in this paper. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2017, 53: 632-636).
