Isolated conjunctival lymphoma metastasis from previous low grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma

Isolated conjunctival lymphoma metastasis from previous low grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Ocular involvement of systemic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is rare. This report describes the unusual occurrence of a biopsy confirmed low grade lymphoma recurring in the conjunctiva, three years after initial diagnosis of systemic disease. The tumour was surgically resected and the patient remains disease free four years later. After the diagnosis of lymphoma, long term follow up is advised as recu...

An incisional biopsy w...

Low-grade lymphoma.

Folicular lymphoma (FL), the second most common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, shows considerable heterogeneity in its clinical behavior, representative of a biology that appears increasingly complex and diverse. As our knowledge of the molecular basis of FL increases, we strive for an integration between the bench and clinic that yields treatments based on our scientific understanding and bi...

Burkitt Lymphoma Leading to Isolated Conjunctival Relapse

Hodgkins lymphoma with HIV infection.

The association between Hodgkins Lymphoma (HL) with HIV is common in adults but rare in children. A 5 year old boy, known case of HIV on antiretroviral therapy, presented with prolonged fever, multiple enlarged lymph nodes along with hepatosplenomegaly. A diagnosis of Hodgkins lymphoma was entertained on histopathological examination; further subtyping was done by immunohistochemistry.
