Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL)
Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), also called acute lymphoblastic leukemia, is a cancer that starts from the early version of white blood cells called lymphocytes in the bone marrow (the soft inner part of the bones, where new blood cells are made). Leukemia cells usually invade the blood fairly quickly. They can then spread to other parts of the body, including the lymph nodes, liver, spleen, central nervous system (brain and spinal cord), and testicles (in males). Other types of cancer also can start in these organs and then spread to the bone marrow, but these cancers are not leukemia. The term “acute” means that the leukemia can progress quickly, and if not treated, would probably be fatal within a few months. Lymphocytic means it develops from early (immature) forms of lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. This is different from acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which develops in other blood cell types found in the bone marrow. {source:- cancer.org}

All the structures of the orbit, including lacrimal glands, eyelids, soft tissues and extraocullar muscles, may become affected in the course of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Orbital infiltration or a mass formation may cause exophtalmos and/or diplopia. Leukemic cells may infiltrate the soft tissues, extraocuar muscles or lacrimal glands. All kinds of leukemia can affect the orbit, but it is more common in acute lymphoblastic leukemias.
That's interesting. My brother had Leukemia and fortunately never had those issues. He was dx in 70 and passed in 77. They were just doing bone marrow transplants at the end. It would have been better if it was 10 years later. I was born in 70. I'm so impressed with the advancements in that area.
