Purpose: To evaluate and present the clinical histopathological features of patients with orbital adnexal lymphoma.
 Methods: Eight that had histologically proven lymphoma between 2011 2021 were evaluated retrospectively. Clinical appearance, age, gender, imaging, tumor localization, treatment methods, pathological diagnosis systemic obtained from files.
 Results: The mean age was 59....

We read with great interest the article by Grünberger et al. on the ‘blind’ administration of doxycycline in a retrospective series of 11 patients with ocular adnexal lymphoma of MALTtype (OAL) [1]. Authors used this therapy on the basis that, in the Italian experience [2], most cases of OAL were shown to be related to chlamydial infection. However, a centralized molecular assessment of chlamyd...

Primary ocular adnexal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas (OAMLs) are mostly seen in the 5th-7th decades of life, with female predominance, and they occur rarely in children. Thus, knowledge about this cancer type is obtained from adult data in the literature, while the data regarding OAMLs in the pediatric population are limited to a few case reports. Herein, we report a 10-yea...

AIM To classify ocular adnexal lymphomas according to the Revised European and American Lymphoma (REAL) classification and to determine any correlation between clinical features or histomorphological variables with the patients' outcome. METHODS Conventional and immunohistology were performed on representative sections of 53 specimens of 46 patients with ocular adnexal lymphoma. The antibodie...

We report two cases of severe thermal burns on the ocular surface and its adnexal appendages that developed secondary to exposure to molten heavy metal with a melting temperature of near-thousand degree Celsius. Despite aggressive intervention and strict monitoring, the profound inflammation caused significant damage to the ocular surface, ending up in an intractable infection with an unfavorab...
