Abstract
An 88-year-old male patient presented with a large mass on the left lateral bulbar conjunctiva. The tumor appeared two months after the resection of a conjunctival atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) performed by a cornea specialist. Magnetic resonance imaging of the orbits showed deep orbital invasion along the lateral rectus muscle. The mass and the entire conjunctival sac were totally excised with lid-sparing orbital exenteration. Histopathological analysis confirmed that the mass was an extension of the AFX. Two weeks after surgery, large B-cell lymphoma was diagnosed in the oropharynx. Chemotherapy was initiated, and after seven months of follow-up, there was no recurrence of the AFX. The authors believe that this is the first report of orbital invasion by AFX.
