ABSTRACT A 43-year-old man with a past medical history of HIV/AIDS presented with a cough, fever and night sweats. He was febrile, with normal heart rate and blood pressure. Initial laboratory testing included a mild leukocytosis. Chest X-ray demonstrated a right perihilar opacity and bilateral pleural effusions. He was admitted for treatment of pneumocystis pneumonia vs tuberculosis. He developed respiratory failure and was transferred to the ICU. He subsequently developed abdominal pain and severe lactic acidosis. CT scan demonstrated pneumatosis. Considering the clinical concern for mesenteric ischemia he was taken to the operating room, where it was noted that he had hepatomegaly and viable bowel. The mesentery demonstrated diffuse lymphadenopathy. Mesenteric lymph nodes were biopsied. He failed to improve clinically and his leukocytosis continued to increase to as high as 102,000, with a blood smear revealing atypical appearing lymphocytes. The patient continued to decline and ultimately died. Autopsy results demonstrated diffuse non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Only 30 cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma have been reported in the literature as causing liver failure. This is the only case that included pneumatosis and lactic acidosis that mimicked mesenteric ischemia.

Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the lacrimal sac is an extremely rare presentation of orbital localization of lymphoma. We present a 45-year-old male patient with primary NHL of the lacrimal sac, stage IE, who was treated with surgery and radiotherapy. Fourteen months after the end of radiotherapy the patient is free of disease and does not show any treatment-related toxicity.
