The purpose of this report is to determine the clinical characteristic of patient with primary involvement of lacrimal apparatus with lymphoma. Case presentation A 7-year-old girl with history of tearing, gradually prog...

Intraocular non Hodgkin's lymphoma has traditionally been treated with radiotherapy or systemic chemotherapeutic agents. Unfortunately, radiotherapy rarely leads to a long term remission, and can only be safely administered once. Systemic chemotherapy has limited intraocular penetration. Intravitreal administered methotrexate is highly effective at inducing remission and is well tolerated. A ca...

Background: Although cervical malignancy rate had grown up in recent years, primary cervical lymphoma is so rare. It must be high index of suspicious for primary cervical lymphoma diagnosis in patient with malignancy-like signs and symptoms for early detection. Primary cervical lymphoma has no standard treatment or follow-up protocol; so the management still is in doubt and based on previous ca...

Primary intraocular lymphoma (PIOL) is a rare lymphoma. Because of difficulties in obtaining tissue samples, little is known about the disease's genetic features. In order to clarify these features, we carried out single nucleotide polymorphism array karyotyping of IOL using genomic DNA extracted from vitreous fluid. We analyzed 33 samples of IOLs consisting of 16 PIOLs, 12 IOLs with a central ...

primary non-hodgkin lymphoma of liver is a very rare malignancy. here we report a case of primary hepatic burkitt’s lymphoma in a 34-year old man who was known case of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids) and presented with weight loss, abdominal pain, and fever. positive laboratory findings were mild anemia and elevated levels of lactate dehydrogenase (ldh) and alkaline phosphatase (alp)....

PURPOSE Primary intraocular lymphoma is a term that refers to nonmetastatic malignant lymphoid neoplasia that arises primarily within the eye. Primary vitreo-retinal lymphoma (PVRL), a subtype of primary intraocular lymphoma that comprises at least 85% of cases, provides a therapeutic challenge because of its diverse clinical presentations and variable clinical course. One of the currently avai...

Purpose/background: Concomitant intraocular and orbital space-occupied lesions are relatively rare and this is the first report stressing the underlying causes of concomitant intraocular and intraorbital lesions. In this paper, we present cases showing both intraocular and orbital soft tissue masses and highlight their clinical, pathological and imaging features. Materials and methods: A retros...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate efficacy, patient tolerance, and adverse effects of CyberKnife radiosurgery for the treatment of intraocular and periocular lymphoma. METHODS Retrospective case series of 13 patients who underwent CyberKnife radiosurgery was conducted. RESULTS Fourteen eyes of 13 patients were included. The tissue location of the lymphoma was orbit (7 eyes), conjunctiva (3 eyes), chor...
