Primary extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (EMZL) of the female genital tract is a clinical indolent disease. A 61-year-old woman presenting with vaginal prolapse underwent a vaginal hysterectomy and anterior colporrhaphy. Histological examination of the uterus revealed lymphocytic infiltration of the endometrium. The immunohistochemical profile was not in accordance with any known reactive lymphocytic proliferation. Additional polymerase chain reaction and fluorescence in situ hybridization established the diagnosis of EMZL. After staging workup, it was classified as Ann-Arbor stage 1E. Therefore, no adjuvant therapy was needed. Incidental finding of EMZL in the endometrium is exceptional. The asymptomatic presentation is according to the indolent character of extranodal marginal zone lymphoma.

Two patients with malignant lymphoma in the medial area of the upper eyelid mimicking medial fat pad prolapse have been reported. Both of them did not notice any eyelid/orbital mass before presentation to us. They were managed with a complete excisional biopsy of the mass, respectively. In both the patients, pathologic results were compatible with extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue. Neither any other lesion was detected nor any recurrence was seen, without the need of further treatment in either of them. Although the medial fat pad prolapse can be easily diagnosed by inspection only, the results of our study elucidate the importance of palpation for its definite diagnosis.
