ABSTRACT
Malignant T-cell lymphoma is an abnormal tumor of the immune system which generally involves not only the lymphatic system but also the stomach, respiratory system, skin, orbit and, occasionally, the eyelids. The authors experienced a case of eyelid malignant T-cell lymphoma with skin involvement whose characteristic symptoms are anorexia, severe weight loss and systemic lymphadenopathy. Biopsy and immunohistochemical stain to UCHL-1 are the only diagnostic methods for differentiating the diagnosis from Hodgkin's disease. The patient was treated with cyclophosphamide, vincristine and prednisolone with a good prognosis and a 21 month-survival at present.
