Mycosis fungoides is a cutaneous T-cell lymphoma that has been rarely reported to involve ocular structures. Ophthalmic manifestations usually appear in advanced disease. A case of a 58-year-old man presenting with progressive, full thickness, giant upper eyelid mass is presented. The patient had a long history of recurrent tumoral lesions on the trunk and limbs, previously diagnosed as mycosis fungoides. The histopathological examinations of eyelid tumor supported the diagnosis of mycosis fungoides. The mycosis fungoides was stage as IIB (T3N0M0B0) by TNMB classifications and referred to the Hematology and Radiation Oncology clinics. The importance of ophthalmic involvement is being seen in advanced or refractory cases, and there is a possible relation between mycosis fungoides and poor prognosis by being an early indicator of systemic involvement.
