abstract = {Introduction: Orbital lymphoma is a rare presentation of extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, accounting for less than 1\% of the total. The role of radiotherapy in its management is well-established. This is a report of a case of orbital lymphoma
Materials and Methods: Clinical records and pathologic material of a patient woman of 62 age treated with local radiotherapy for localized orbital lymphoma. Treatment consisted of 36 Gy in 1.8-Gy fractions of irradiation using 6-MV photons with complex treatment planning for retrobulbar lesions. Median follow-up was 18 months
Results: Local control was 100\%. Cataracts was not observed in 8 of the treated eyes.
Conclusion: In this case, localized orbital MALT lymphoma was well controlled with radiotherapy.}
