- Title

- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 72-year-old man who developed lacrimal gland extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (EMZL) of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type associated with massive amyloid deposition. He experienced painless progressive swelling and ptosis of his left upper lide for two years. It notes that the presence of amyloid in EMZL is not associated with systemic AL amyloidosis or poor prognosis.
