Abstract: Ocular adnexal lymphomas are a heterogeneous group of malignancies, composing approximately 1-2% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs) and 8% of extranodal lymphomas. Ocular adnexal lymphoma can involve conjunctiva, orbital soft tissues, eyelid or adnexal structures such as lacrimal gland and lacrimal drainage system. We describe two cases of ocular adnexal lymphoma involving lower eyelid and superior bulbar conjunctiva. They presented with painless swelling over these regions. Ocular examinations revealed salmon-coloured conjunctival patch in both the patients. The histopathology of the excisional biopsy revealed eyelid grade 1 follicular lymphoma and extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) respectively. Both patients underwent successful radiotherapy.
