METHODS: A 63-year-old woman had rapid onset of bilateral perilimbal congestion and chemosis. Perilimbal thickening with corneal infiltration developed 20 days later. Computed tomography incidentally disclosed a right maxillary sinus mass. Biopsy specimens from the maxillary sinus mass and the left limbus were subjected to histopathologic examination and immunohistochemical study. RESULTS: T-cell malignant lymphoma of diffuse large cell type, stage IV, was diagnosed. The patient was treated with combination chemotherapy plus 13-cis-retinoic acid and remained in remission 1 1/4 years after diagnosis. CONCLUSION: Conjunctival involvement with T-cell lymphoma may present as episcleritis and chemosis.[SDGs]SDG3cyclophosphamide; fluorometholone; meprednisone; mitoxantrone; vincristine; adult; article; biopsy; cancer combination chemotherapy; cancer regression; case report; clinical feature; computer assisted tomography; conjunctiva tumor; disease classification; disease course; female; histopathology; human; immunohistochemistry; intravenous drug administration; lymphoma; priority journal; T lymphocyte; topical drug administration; treatment outcomejournal article10.1016/S0002-9394(98)00012-996255642-s2.0-0032076973
