This 65 year-old man presented with a rapidly
progressing left proptosis. The CT scan showed an orbital mass occupying
most of the inferior orbit. He had no medical history of note and an ENT
examination showed no signs of nasopharyngeal carcinoma or other tumours.
The chest X-ray was normal. A transcutaneous biopsy showed a white mass.
Histopathology showed the mass to be non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. He was referred
to the oncologist for further treatment.
A right non-axial proptosis (the globe
is displaced superiorly).

A piece of the mass was removed and
sent for histology.
