“…There have been several case reports of lymphoma masquerading in patients with known TED. [6][7][8][9] Given that lymphoma and other lesions commonly affect the superior orbit, it is important to consider these possibilities and biopsy them appropriately. Idiopathic orbital inflammation (IOI) can also present similarly to TED and occur concurrently with TED.…”

A case of an 87-year-old woman with a history of Graves disease presenting with a 5-year history of severe ptosis and very poor levator function of the left side is presented. MRI revealed marked enlargement of all extraocular muscles and significant enlargement of the left levator muscle. Given the patient's age and atypical presentation of thyroid eye disease (TED), she was taken to the operating room for biopsy and ptosis repair with frontalis suspension. Histopathological analysis revealed chronic inflammation and fibrosis consistent with Graves disease.

“…[3][4][5] Although orbital image is not a routine procedure for the diagnosis of TAO, detailed physical examination including palpation and timely imaging study are mandatory for the accurate diagnosis of these orbital diseases. TAO, also known as Graves' ophthalmopathy, is the most common cause for proptosis in adults, especially in females.…”

“…It is important that unilateral GO be differentially diagnosed from orbital diseases affecting one eye, such as orbital tumors, such as lymphoma (39,40). Other differentials affecting the orbit including other orbital tumors or pseudotumors, carotid cavernous fistulae, and dermoid and/or epidermoid cysts need to be excluded, too.…”

Graves’ Orbitopathy (GO) is an autoimmune orbital disorder usually presenting as a sequala of autoimmune thyroid disease. The presence of GO is associated with increased psychological burden and, in severe cases may cause blindness. While most patients with GO present with bilateral disease, asymmetric or unilateral GO may affect a significant proportion of patients diagnosed with GO. Older age, male sex, active and severe disease correlate with asymmetric disease. However, the exact mechanisms causing asymmetry remain elusive. Herein, we review the literature on asymmetric GO and highlight its differences compared with bilateral GO.
