　一側眼窩腫瘍を初発とした白血病の症例の報告は少く，三村氏^1）の1例位であり，且又眼窩腫瘍を好発する緑色腫でなくて，慢性淋巴性白血病と思われた1例を得たので簡単ながら報告する。

A rare case of lymphatic leucaemia which showed unilateral orbital tumor as the initial sign was reported.

The patient was a 67 years old female. Excision of a small orbital tumor, similar to a round cell sarcoma of the right lower palpebra, was performed one month after the ap-pearance of exophthalmus.

Histological examination of this tumor, splenic tumor and hematological examination revealed that it was due to chronic lymphatic leucaemia.

Nitrogen-mustard was injected, but orbital tumor recurred 2 months after the excision. General symptoms of leucaemia became intense and the patient died 40 days later.
