Abstract :

Orbital lymphoma is the most common malignant orbital tumor and typically affects the elderly. However, its occurrence in nonagenarians is particularly rare. This case report details the diagnosis, management, and outcome of a 90-year-old female presenting with primary orbital MALT lymphoma, emphasizing the successful use of external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) in this age group.
