T-cell lymphoma presenting as a rapidly enlarging tumor on the lower eyelid

Lymphoma or leukemia skin lesions as a secondary site of disease are quite common; however, to discover a cutaneous Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma is very unusual. To find a cutaneous T-cell lymphoma on the skin of the face is a rarity. Because the condition is so rare and difficult to diagnose and treat, we report the case of a young man with a T-cell lymphoma with atypical and anaplastic cells on the lower eyelid. The patient was treated with 4 cycles of chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, and the tumor was resolved after 6 weeks. Our case was clinically suggestive of a rapidly enlarging malignant lymphoma on the eyelid. If the lymphomas are detected at an early stage the prognosis for survival is favorable. A few forms of treatment are possible, either surgical treatment, or radiotherapy and chemotherapy, where response to the treatment is better.
