Ocular morbidity after radiotherapy of orbital and conjunctival lymphoma

Radiotherapy for orbital lymphoma

Lymphoma of the orbit is a rare presentation of nonHodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). According to the data from the literature, orbital lymphoma represents 8% of all extranodal NHL and about 1% of all NHL [1-3]. Symptoms which are usually caused by orbital lymphoma are proptosis, periorbital swelling, conjunctival (salmonpink) swelling, diplopia, and conjunctival redness and irritation [4]. Radiotherap...

Ocular Lymphoma: Clinical, Diagnostic, and Therapeutic Aspects

Ocular involvement in lymphoma is a relatively rare condition that can result from a primary intraocular lymphoma or an intraocular manifestation of systemic lymphoma. Lymphoma manifestations frequently masquerade as other more benign intraocular conditions including allergic or infectious conjunctivitis, uveitis, multiple evanescent white dot syndrome, acute retinal necrosis, or herpetic retin...

Radiotherapy in benign orbital disease. I: Complicated ocular angiomas.

Radiotherapy has been successful in the management of complicated ocular and orbital angiomas, but late morbidity (particularly radiation induced cataract) has been a problem. With modern radiotherapy techniques it is possible to minimise the morbidity to other tissues. By means of a recently developed method of lens-sparing ocular radiotherapy (initially adopted for retinoblastoma therapy) two...

Radiation Pneumonitis after Radiotherapy of Neck Lymphoma

Radiotherapy is still one of the effective means for treatment of malignant tumors up to now. Particularly, it is an indispensable effective measure for treatment of some lymphoma patients. In routine work, radiation pneumonitis (RP) is the most significant complication of acute treatment-related toxicities in lung cancer; however, serious radioactive pneumonia is rare for the radiotherapy of n...
