Description |
Marginal zone lymphoma of mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) account for 7%-8% of all newly-diagnosed cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Since MALT lymphomas are frequently localized and tend to stay localized, local treatment approaches such as moderate-dose radiotherapy are frequently successful. We describe a case of MALT lymphoma of the pterygopalatine fossa extending into the right orbital apex, in which the diagnosis and therefore treatment was delayed. |
