Abstract
A 42-year-old man was referred to the ENT department by Ophthalmology for a biopsy of a right intra-orbital, extraconal lesion. (Figs. 80.1 and 80.2). The patient had existing visual symptoms, and it was anticipated they would develop intra-orbital bleeding/haematoma as a result of the biopsy. The patient was consented for a planned lateral canthotomy and cantholysis. This was not required as the patient did not develop any significant bleeding and the medial orbital compartment was decompressed by removing the lamina papyracea. The histology was confirmed as a low-grade lymphoma.
