Abstract

We present the case of a 63 years old patient, hospitalized in our Clinic with the suspicion of preseptal cellulitis. The subsequent evolution of the disease required extensive investigations which provide the definitive diagnosis of non-Hodgkin, diffuse B-cell lymphoma, with extranodal orbital involvement. In this case, the treatment of choice it must be systemic chemotherapy.
