The conjunctival localization of MALT-type lymphoma is rare although it is the most common tumor of the ocular adnexa. We report a case of a 57 years old female patient who presented with a unilateral primitive MALT lymphoma, confined to the conjunctiva, she consulted for a protrusion of her left eye associated with a painless conjunctival lesion. Morphological and immunohistochemical analysis led to the diagnosis. Conjunctival MALT lymphoma is the most frequent tumor of ocular adnexa. It may be primary or secondary. Presentation is not specific, but the observation of a salmon colored conjunctival mass may lead to the diagnosis.
