Abstract. A 44-year-old male noted a tumor in the left upper eyelid area 2 weeks before. He had been diagnosed with intracranial malignant lymphoma 2 years before and been successfully treated by radiation. When first seen by us,the left eye showed normal position and movements. The ocular motiliry and eye opening became restricted one week later. We excised the orbital tumor to achieve definite diagnosis and to improve the cosmetic appearance and the visual function. The eyeball was left intact. Surgery was followed by normal eye opening and motility. The excised tumor was identified as diffuse large B cell lymphoma. And systemic examinations showed metastases to other organs. Chemotherapy induced improvements in systemic and eye findings. This case illustrates that resection of orbital tumor can be beneficial in spite of the presence of generalized metastasis.
