- Abstract
Five percent (5%) of lacrimal gland tumors are originated from lymphoid tissue. In one type of Hodgkin disease which is abounding in lymphocytes, involvement of lacrimal gland is a rather rare entity. A 48 - year old woman who had swollen both eyelids, applied to department of oculoplasty in our clinic. At inspection, when eyelids were rotated, a mass was seen at the region which fits to bilateral lacrimal gland area. Magnetic resonance imaging of the orbita showed a well-demarcated soft tissue mass without invade adjacent structure in the supero-lateral aspect of the bilateral orbit, occupying lacrimal gland. Lymphadenopathies in abdominal, cervical, inguinal, axillary regions have been found in systemic scanning. Biopsy of lacrimal gland and axillary lymphadenopahty were performed and histopathological examination revealed the diagnosis as Hodgkin disease abounding in lymphocytes. The patient was underwent four cure chemotherapy. Clinical and tomographic findings were found to be regressed after treatment.
