Herein, we report a case of primary orbital NKTL in a young female patient. A 32-year-old female presented with gradually increasing painful swelling of the right eye. On examination, abaxial proptosis, inferolateral displacement of the eyeball, restricted extraocular muscle movement, and solid mass in the subconjunctival fornix and superior quadrant. The rest of the ocular and systemic examination was unremarkable. Magnetic resonance imaging with contrast of the orbit shows a lobulated mass lesion 35×30×18 mm involving the medial aspect of the right orbit extraconal and superior intraconal space extending up to the preseptal region. Informed consent and biopsy were done and sent for histopathology examination. Histopathological examination shows the spectrum of atypical lymphoid cells, indented or cleaved nuclei and pale to clear cytoplasm, few histiocytes, giant cells, and apoptotic body. To rule out lymphoma, immunohistochemistry (IHC) was advised. On IHC, tumor cells were positive for CD3, D56, CD4 focally, CD7, Ki-67–90% and negative for CD20, CD2, Tdt, PAX5, CD34, CD5, Cd8 leading to a diagnosis of extranodal NKTL of the orbit. To the best of our knowledge, around 20 cases of isolated orbital extranodal NKTL were reported in the literature review. Polymorphic lymphoid cell in a young patient often mimics the inflammatory conditions of orbit. The rarity of this tumor and inflammatory signs make it challenging to identify these tumors early.","PeriodicalId":13365,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Case Reports","volume":"17 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140744838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we present the case of a 9-year-old girl who presented with complaints of swelling over the left forearm for 2 months. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a well-defined lobulated mass in the flexor compartment of the left forearm, suggestive of soft-tissue neoplasm. A biopsy done of the mass showed a malignant round blue cell tumor. Immunohistochemistry led to the diagnosis of RMS. The patient was started on multimodal therapy and is doing well on follow-up. Extremity swelling in the pediatric age group with malignant round cell morphology can pose diagnostic difficulty. A detailed work-up is essential for an accurate diagnosis.
