Orbital lymphoma in an elderly patient

Abstract

Lymphomas of the orbit and orbital adnexae are rare tumors, comprising only 1% of all non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Lymphomas are the most common primary orbital tumor in adults of age 60 years and older. Here we present a case of 49 year male with left upper lid swelling since 1 year who was diagnosed histopathologically as non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma of orbital region.

Parotid metastases from primary lung cancer: Case series and systematic review of the features

“…Lung cancer metastasis to the parotid gland is particularly rare (5). Due to the superficial location and benign impression of the parotid (31), missed diagnosis of primary tumors or misdiagnosis of parotid metastasis tumors occurs as common (7,8). However, there is no appropriate way to avoid the above problems thus far.…”

Primary Orbital Lymphoma – A Rare Challenging Diagnostic Entity

“…[8] Prognosis of orbital lymphoma is good with 5-year overall survival rate ranging between 50% and 94%. [12]…”

Histopathological Patterns and Early Postoperative Complications among Patients with Surgically Treated Thyroid Diseases at Bugando Medical Centre, Mwanza, Tanzania

“…The spectrum of thyroid diseases includes simple goitre, toxic goitre, thyroiditis, adenoma and cancers and may present clinically either as an alteration of hormone secretion (i.e. hyper, hypo or euthyroidism) or as an enlargement (mass lesion) of the thyroid gland [4]. They vary from non-neoplastic to neoplastic lesions [5].…”

“…Thyroid disease is being increasingly diagnosed with greater awareness and is one of the chronic non-communicable diseases affecting women more, though males are not spared of the ailment [4] [6]. The prevalence and pattern of the diseases depend on various factors including sex, age, ethnic and geographical patterns [4]. Thyroid disorders are endemic in mountain regions, where the soil, water and food contain little iodine [7].…”

“…Thyroid disorders are endemic in mountain regions, where the soil, water and food contain little iodine [7]. Although surgically treated thyroid swellings vary widely from one geographical area to another, thyroid disorders are common in Africa [4] [5] [6]. The prevalence areas of thyroid swellings mainly from iodine deficiency are common highlands.…”
