A20 inactivation in ocular adnexal MALT lymphoma.
Recent studies showed A20 inactivation by deletion, mutation and promoter methylation in ocular adnexal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. However, the incidences of A20 abnormalities and their clinical impact remain for the most part unknown. It is also unknown whether ABIN-1 and ABIN-2, the components of the A20 NF-κB inhibitor complex, are inactivated by genetic changes in ocular ad...
متن کاملTreatment options for ocular adnexal lymphoma (OAL)
Most lymphomas that involve the ocular adnexal structure are low grade, B cell, non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. The treatment depends upon the grade and stage of the disease. High grade lymhoma requires treatment with systemic chemotherapy whereas the localized low grade (extranodal marginal zone lymphoma) can be successfully managed with local radiotherapy. Chlamydia psittaci infection is associated ...
متن کاملRole of Chlamydia in the Development of Ocular Adnexal Lymphoma
The aetiology of OAL is undefined, although much attention has been recently focused on determining whether OAL is caused by an autoimmune disorder, chronic antigenic stimulation or both. It is becoming evident that infectious agents underlying chronic eye infection, as Chlamydia, may play a role in ocular lymphomagenesis. The high prevalence of Chlamydophila psittaci in patients with OAL has s...

متن کاملOcular Adnexal Lymphoma: Clinical Presentation, Diagnosis, Treatment and Prognosis
Ocular adnexal lymphoma (OAL) is a rare tumor with an incidence of 0.2 per 1,00,000 individuals. However, it constitutes the most common orbital tumor especially in older population with an incidence ranging from 11% to 24%. OAL can involve conjunctiva, orbital soft tissues, eyelid, or adnexal structures such as lacrimal gland and lacrimal drainage system. The most common primary OAL is low-gra...
