Abstrakt:	We present a case of painless bulbar conjunctival mass due to B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), without systemic involvement, in a 76-year-old man. Following an excision biopsy, histopathologic examination and immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis, prompting a referral for hemato-oncological assessment. The patient underwent comprehensive laboratory and imaging scans, subsequently receiving combined chemo-immunotherapy that resulted in complete remission to date. This case is reported as it is crucial to recognize that a conjunctival insult might emerge in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) patients. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist. (Copyright © 2023, Florou et al.)
