A 37-year-old male presented a sudden diplopia. Ocular examination showed a partial paresis of the left eye (LE) on the left gaze, progressing in a few days towards a total ophthalmoplegia. Further investigation revealed an intra-orbital mass, immunohistologically diagnosed as a Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), according to the WHO classification. Since the patient was in an advanced, disseminated stage of the disease (IVA-E), treatment was based on systemic and intrathecal chemotherapy with a pancranial radiotherapy. The clinical course was poor with only a 10-month survival. We wish to stress that the possibility of orbital malignancy in young adults with acute onset of ophthalmoplegia should be included in the differential diagnosis.
