Conjunctival marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MALT lymphoma) with amyloid and relapse in the stomach
Ocular Immunology and Inflammation, 09/14/07
Topalkara, A., et al. - This study suggests that a routine evaluation of the GI tract for patients with primary conjunctival B-cell MALT lymphoma at the time of the first evaluation and during the long-term follow-up is recommended, particularly if the patient has symptoms related to the GI tract.
Methods- A case report of 72 year-old woman who was examined due to ocular pain, redness, photophobia, and ptosis of the right eye
- Localized (primary) conjunctival marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT)-type), with amyloid deposition was relapsed in the stomach, 14 mos after the initial diagnosis
- Ocular adnexal marginal zone B-cell MALT lymphoma is often localized at diagnosis; some relapse in typical MALT sites
- There are few reports of localized conjunctival lymphoma with a relapse in the stomach
- All patients with localized ocular adnexal lymphoma be followed for an extended period
