Abstract

Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the lacrimal sac is an extremely rare presentation of orbital localization of lymphoma. We present a 45-year-old male patient with primary NHL of the lacrimal sac, stage IE, who was treated with surgery and radiotherapy. Fourteen months after the end of radiotherapy the patient is free of disease and does not show any treatment-related toxicity.
