Yellow droopy eyes: A case of obstructive jaundice from Burkitt's lymphoma with involvement of bilateral cavernous sinus

Burkitt's lymphoma follows a lymphogenous spread early in the disease. The central nervous system can be involved via a hematogenous route but involvement of the cavernous sinus (CS) is rare and can be misdiagnosed as other pathology of primary neoplastic, infective, or vascular origin. We present a case of a 73-year-old gentleman with painless jaundice and subjective heaviness to his eyes that progressed to partial ptosis of the left eye, complete ptosis of the right eye with diplopia, found to have disseminated Burkitt's lymphoma with bilateral deposits to the CS. Early recognition of Burkitt's lymphoma with CS involvement is important as it often signifies disseminated disease with implications on chemotherapy regimen, treatment outcomes, and survival.
