| Sumario: | Mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma (marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of MALT according to the World Health Organization classification) is one of the low-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. The majority of nonHodgkin's lymphomas of the ocular adnexa are extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphomas of the mucosa associated lymphoid tissue, also known as MALT lymphoma. In 8% of cases, it arises from the conjunctiva. Lymphoid tumors of the conjunctiva may appear as isolated neoplasms or a part of a systemic disease. In this study, we presented a case of primary conjunctival lymphoma and discussed the etiology, diagnosis and treatment with reference to previous studies and reviews.
