RÉSUMÉ
INTRODUCTION: The conjunctival localization of MALT-type lymphoma is rare although it is the most common tumor of the ocular adnexa. OBSERVATION: We report a case of a 57 years old female patient who presented with a unilateral primitive MALT lymphoma, confined to the conjunctiva, she consulted for a protrusion of her left eye associated with a painless conjunctival lesion. Morphological and immunohistochemical analysis led to the diagnosis. CONCLUSION: Conjunctival MALT lymphoma is the most frequent tumor of ocular adnexa. It may be primary or secondary. Presentation is not specific, but the observation of a salmon colored conjunctival mass may lead to the diagnosis.
