[PMID: 38952566 PMCID: PMC11215945 DOI: 10.1016/j.aopr.2024.04.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2023] [Revised: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024]
Abstract
Purpose Aims to provide an overview of the contemporary epidemiology of malignant orbital tumors by analyzing population-based incidence patterns across various regions worldwide. Methods In this article, we retrieved orbital malignancy data from the MEDLINE database and analyzed the incidence and prevalence of orbital malignancies worldwide. We performed the literature search by searching on the Mesh terms for malignant orbital tumors ("orbital", "tumor", "lymphoma", "malignant", "cancer", "incidence", and "epidemiology"). All included studies were published between 1993 and 2023 and were written in English. Results Ocular or ophthalmic lymphoma most frequently occurred in the orbit, with a prevalence ranging from 47% to 54%. The incidence of malignant orbital tumors was increasing in the USA (2.0 per million (1981-1993), Netherlands (0.86 (1981-1985) to 2.49 (2001-2005) per million) and South Korea (0.3-0.8 per million (1999-2016)), respectively. Ophthalmic lymphoma which includes orbit lymphoma was increasing in Canada (0.17-1.47 per million (1992-2010)), Denmark (0.86 per million (1981-1985) to 2.49 per million (2001-2005)), respectively. Conclusions The predominant primary malignant orbital tumor in adults was lymphoma. Ocular or ophthalmic lymphoma most frequently occured in the orbit. The limited data available suggested an increasing trend in the incidence of malignant orbital tumors in each country included, which were mainly attributed to the increase in lymphoma. Generally, incidence rates were found to increase with advancing age, with no difference between males and females.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ultrasound (US) is widely used for evaluating various orbital conditions. However, accurately diagnosing malignant orbital masses using US remains challenging. We aimed to develop an ultrasonic feature-based model to predict the presence of malignant tumors in the orbit. METHODS A total of 510 patients with orbital masses were enrolled between January 2017 and April 2023. They were divided into a development cohort and a validation cohort. In the development cohort (n = 408), the ultrasonic and clinical features with differential values were identified. Based on these features, a predictive model and nomogram were constructed. The diagnostic performance of the model was compared with that of MRI or observers, and further validated in the validation cohort (n = 102). RESULTS The involvement of more than two quadrants, irregular shape, extremely low echo of the solid part, presence of echogenic foci, cast-like appearance, and two demographic characteristics (age and sex) were identified as independent features related to malignant tumors of the orbit. The predictive model constructed based on these features exhibited better performance in identifying malignant tumors compared to MRI (AUC = 0.78 [95% CI: 0.73, 0.82] vs. 0.69 [95% CI: 0.64, 0.74], p = 0.03) and observers (AUC = 0.93 [95% CI: 0.90, 0.95] vs. Observer 1, AUC = 0.80 [95% CI: 0.76, 0.84], p < 0.01; vs. Observer 2, AUC = 0.71 [95% CI: 0.66, 0.76], p < 0.01). In the validation cohort, the predictive model achieved an AUC of 0.88 (95% CI: 0.81, 0.94). CONCLUSION The ultrasonic-clinical feature-based predictive model can accurately identify malignant orbital tumors, offering a convenient approach in clinical practice.

Chung SY, Kook KH, Oh YT. Feasibility of partial-orbit irradiation as a treatment strategy for patients with orbital mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. CANADIAN JOURNAL OF OPHTHALMOLOGY 2024; 59:e227-e232. [PMID: 37084769 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcjo.2023.03.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2022] [Revised: 02/09/2023] [Accepted: 03/28/2023] [Indexed: 04/23/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE For early-stage orbital mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALToma), radiotherapy (RT) is known to be the treatment of choice. The classical recommended treatment field is the entire ipsilateral orbit, exposing normal orbital structures such as the lacrimal gland and lens, which are sensitive to moderate doses of radiation, to the full treatment dose. Herein we aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes and dosimetric values in patients with orbital MALToma who received RT. DESIGN This study was a retrospective study. PARTICIPANTS Forty patients with orbital MALToma treated with curative RT. METHODS The patients were classified into the conjunctival RT (n = 23), partial-orbit RT (n = 10), and whole-orbit RT (n = 7) groups. The treatment outcomes and dosimetric values of the orbital structures were reviewed. RESULTS We found the 5-year local, contralateral orbit, and overall relapse rates to be 5.0%, 5.9%, and 16.0%, respectively. Local relapse events occurred in 2 patients in the conjunctival RT group. No relapse was observed in the partial-orbit RT group. Whole-orbit RT caused significantly higher rates of dry eyes during treatment. The partial-orbit RT group showed a significantly lower ipsilateral eyeball mean dose and ipsilateral eyelid mean dose than the other groups. CONCLUSION Partial-orbit RT showed encouraging clinical, toxicity, and dosimetric outcomes in patients with orbital MALToma and has the potential to be a treatment option for such patients.

Abstract
We herein report a middle-aged gentleman who initially presented with ocular adnexal mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) on the right eyelid. The lesion was excised and the patient was treated with radiation therapy. During the initial presentation, a PET CT was performed and did not reveal disease involvement beyond the eyelid. The patient presented 3 months later with ocular adnexal MCL of the contralateral eye. Re-evaluation using PET CT revealed a slight increase in the uptake in several lymph nodes and the spleen, which, after biopsy, confirmed systemic MCL. The patient was started on six cycles of chemotherapy. The patient also underwent autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Approximately 80% of primary ocular adnexal lymphomas are B-cell in origin, with MCL being the rarest subtype constituting only 5% of B-cell ocular adnexal lymphomas. Despite its rarity, it is crucial for clinicians to detect the entity early and ensure rapid initiation of appropriate therapy.

Abstract
RATIONALE The most common subtype of primary lymphoma of the ocular adnexa is the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) subtype. MALT lymphoma of the lacrimal gland is relatively rare among the lacrimal gland tumors, and the early clinical symptoms are atypical, which can easily lead to misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. Here, we report a case of MALT lymphoma of the lacrimal gland and explore its clinical manifestations, pathological characteristics, management, and pathogenesis, with the aim of helping clinicians gain an in-depth understanding of ocular adnexal MALT lymphoma. PATIENT CONCERNS A 60-year-old man presented to our hospital with proptosis and diplopia. The right eye deviated and shifted toward the lower part of the nose. DIAGNOSIS Orbital enhanced magnetic resonance imaging suggested a mass with a maximum cross-section of 3.2 × 2.1 cm. T1 weighted image was isointense, and the enhancement was more uniform and obvious. INTERVENTIONS The right orbital mass was treated surgically, and the final pathology report was MALT lymphoma. After the pathological report was released, the patient was transferred to the hematology department for further diagnosis and no further treatment was given eventually. OUTCOMES Seven months later, the patient did not complain of discomfort. Whole-body positron emission tomography-computed tomography, superficial lymph node examination and orbital magnetic resonance imaging revealed no abnormal changes. LESSONS The clinical manifestations of MALT lymphoma are heterogeneous. Imaging examination is important for assessing the size of the tumor and its relationship with adjacent tissues. Postoperative pathological examination may provide further evidence for the evaluation of the patient's surgical efficacy and prognosis. Management of MALT lymphoma of the lacrimal gland requires a multidisciplinary approach involving ophthalmologists, hematologists, and radiotherapists.

Abstract
A 71-year-old male presented with painless and slowly progressive proptosis of the right eye. The patient had no history of cancer and was in good health. Orbital magnetic resonance imaging showed a well-demarcated, slightly lobulated intraconal orbital mass hypo-isointense on T1- weighted and isointense on T2-weighted images, demonstrating contrast enhancement in the right orbit. The lesion had a central cavitary region. An anterior orbitotomy with lower lid crease incision was performed and the lesion was excised in toto. Histopathologic examination revealed diffuse infiltration of monomorphic population of small lymphoid cells. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated diffuse and strong positivity for CD20, CD5, and cyclin D1. Histopathological and immunohistochemical findings were consistent with mantle cell lymphoma. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography did not show systemic involvement. The patient underwent orbital external beam radiotherapy (36 Gy). There was no recurrence and/or systemic involvement at 2.5 years follow-up.

Abstract
Ocular complications can occur in up to 90% of patients with blood malignancies. Such complications range from direct infiltration to local hemostatic imbalance and treatment-related toxicity. This narrative review is based on a systematic computerized search of the literature conducted until January 2024 and examines the common ocular complications associated with blood cancers. Ocular complications from primary disease include mass effects from ocular adnexal lymphomas and intraocular lymphomas, with B-cell lymphomas accounting for 95% of primary ocular presentations. Secondary disease involvement from systemic hematological malignancies can lead to a wide range of ocular manifestations, such as leukemic retinopathy. Furthermore, toxicity from antineoplastic therapies and ocular graft versus host disease (oGVHD) after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation present additional risks to ocular health. In conclusion, ocular complications in blood cancer patients are an integral part of patient management, requiring regular ophthalmic evaluations and close collaboration between oncologists and ophthalmologists. Advances in therapy and an increased focus on early symptom recognition are essential for preserving vision and enhancing patient quality of life.

Abstract
The study analysed the clinical characteristics, treatment approaches, and survival outcomes of 97 consecutive patients with orbital lymphoma (OL) over a 25-year period at. The median age of the patients was 57.6 years, and 59.8% (n = 58) were male. Marginal zone lymphoma constitutes the most prevalent subtype, accounting for 67% of cases, whereas other common subtypes include diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, and T-cell lymphomas. Unilateral involvement was observed in the majority of cases (72.3%). Common clinical presentations included mass (30.9%), swelling (26.8%), and epiphora (11.3%). Of the patients, 7.2% received rituximab alone, 14.4% received radiotherapy alone, 48.5% received chemotherapy, 27.8% received radiotherapy plus rituximab, 22.7% received radiotherapy plus chemotherapy, and 5.2% underwent surgery as the first-line treatment. During a median follow-up of 4.3 years, 15.5% of patients experienced relapse or disease progression. The 5-year and 10-year progression-free survival rates were 84.1% and 79.1%, respectively. This study contributes to our understanding of OLs and provides a foundation for further investigations in this field. Male gender, presence of B symptoms, advanced stage, secondary orbital lymphoma, aggressive histological subtype, and elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase levels were associated with poorer (either inferior or worse) progression-free survival.

Abstract
Purpose To examine the molecular biological differences between conjunctival mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma and orbital MALT lymphoma in ocular adnexa lymphoma. Methods Observational case series. A total of 129 consecutive, randomized cases of ocular adnexa MALT lymphoma diagnosed histopathologically between 2008 and 2020.Total RNA was extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue from ocular adnexa MALT lymphoma, and RNA-sequencing was performed. Orbital MALT lymphoma gene expression was compared with that of conjunctival MALT lymphoma. Gene set (GS) analysis detecting for gene set cluster was performed in RNA-sequence. Related proteins were further examined by immunohistochemical staining. In addition, artificial segmentation image used to count stromal area in HE images. Results GS analysis showed differences in expression in 29 GS types in primary orbital MALT lymphoma (N=5,5, FDR q-value <0.25). The GS with the greatest difference in expression was the GS of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Based on this GS change, immunohistochemical staining was added using E-cadherin as an epithelial marker and vimentin as a mesenchymal marker for EMT. There was significant staining of vimentin in orbital lymphoma (P<0.01, N=129) and of E-cadherin in conjunctival lesions (P=0.023, N=129). Vimentin staining correlated with Ann Arbor staging (1 versus >1) independent of age and sex on multivariate analysis (P=0.004). Stroma area in tumor were significant difference(P<0.01). Conclusion GS changes including EMT and stromal area in tumor were used to demonstrate the molecular biological differences between conjunctival MALT lymphoma and orbital MALT lymphoma in ocular adnexa lymphomas.

Abstract
Orbital and ocular adnexa lymphomas are rare neoplasms confined to the orbital region. The prognosis is generally favorable, with a high proportion of localized disease, indolent clinical course, prolonged disease-free intervals, and low lymphoma-related mortality rate. We report our experience on eleven patients with confirmed histological diagnosis of lymphoma stage IE-IIE, treated between 2010 and 2021 with radiotherapy alone or in association with chemotherapy or immunotherapy. Eight patients were treated with primary radiotherapy only, while three received previous systemic treatments. Six patients were treated with Proton beam therapy (PBT), and five with external beam radiotherapy (EBRT). The five-year local control rate was 98%; only one patient developed an out-of-field recurrence. We also conducted a comprehensive literature review using electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library). Articles were selected based on their pertinence to treatment of the ocular and adnexal lymphoma focusing on radiotherapy techniques (electron beam radiotherapy, photon beam radiotherapy, or proton beam radiotherapy), treatment total dose, fractionation schedule, early and late radio-induced toxicities, and patient's clinical outcome. Radiotherapy is an effective treatment option for orbital lymphoma, especially as standard treatment in the early stage of orbital lymphoma, with excellent local control rate and low rates of toxicity.

Long-Term Follow-Up of Patients with Conjunctival Lymphoma after Individualized Lens-Sparing Electron Radiotherapy: Results from a Longitudinal Study. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:5433. [PMID: 38001692 PMCID: PMC10670077 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15225433] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2023] [Revised: 11/02/2023] [Accepted: 11/11/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Irradiation with electrons is the primary treatment regime for localized conjunctival low-grade lymphomas. However, radiation-induced cataracts are a major cause of treatment-related morbidity. This study investigates whether lens-sparing electron irradiation produces sufficient disease control rates while preventing cataract formation. All consecutive patients with strictly conjunctival, low-grade Ann Arbor stage IE lymphoma treated with superficial electron irradiation between 1999 and 2021 at our department were reviewed. A total of 56 patients with 65 treated eyes were enrolled with a median follow-up of 65 months. The median dose was 30.96 Gy. A lens-spearing technique featuring a hanging rod blocking the central beam axis was used in 89.2% of all cases. Cumulative incidences of 5- and 10-year infield recurrences were 4.3% and 14.6%, incidences of 5- and 10-year outfield progression were 10.4% and 13.4%. We used patients with involvement of retroorbital structures treated with whole-orbit photon irradiation without lens protection-of which we reported in a previous study-as a control group. The cumulative cataract incidence for patients treated with electrons and lens protection was significantly lower (p = 0.005) when compared to patients irradiated without lens protection. Thus, electrons are an effective treatment option for conjunctival low-grade lymphomas. The presented lens-sparing technique effectively prevents cataract formation.

Abstract
We herein report a 76-year-old male who presented to the ophthalmology clinic after complaining from excessive lacrimation for ~6 months prior to presentation. He reports previously undergoing a nasolacrimal recanalization procedure in attempts to resolve his symptoms, but reported no improvement. On examination, a mass on the nasal conjunctiva around the medial canthus of the right eye was noted and subsequently excised. The findings support the diagnosis of low-grade follicular lymphoma. The patient was referred to radiation oncology for radiation therapy and received a total dose of 2400 cGy. Most ocular adnexal lymphomas are B-cell in origin, with follicular lymphomas being one of the rarest forms of such lymphomas. The most common translocation reported in over 85% of follicular lymphomas of the ocular adnexa is t(14; 18) (q32; q21). Traditional treatment options typically include a mix of chemical, surgical, and radio-oncological interventions.

Abstract
AIMS To examine whether the specific location of ocular adnexal lymphoma (OAL) and the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) TNM tumour stage are prognostic factors for mortality in the main OAL subtypes. METHODS Clinical and survival data were retrospectively collected from seven international eye cancer centres. All patients from 1980 to 2017 with histologically verified primary or secondary OAL were included. Cox regression was used to compare the ocular adnexal tumour locations on all-cause mortality and disease-specific mortality. RESULTS OAL was identified in 1168 patients. The most frequent lymphoma subtypes were extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (EMZL) (n=688, 59%); follicular lymphoma (FL) (n=150, 13%); diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (n=131, 11%); and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) (n=89, 8%). AJCC/TNM tumour-stage (T-stage) was significantly associated with disease-specific mortality in primary ocular adnexal EMZL and increased through T-categories from T1 to T3 disease. No associations between AJCC/TNM T-stage and mortality were found in primary ocular adnexal FL, DLBCL, or MCL. EMZL located in the eyelid had a significantly increased disease-specific mortality compared with orbital and conjunctival EMZL, in both primary EMZL and the full EMZL cohort. In DLBCL, eyelid location had a significantly higher disease-specific mortality compared with an orbital or lacrimal gland location. CONCLUSION Disease-specific mortality is associated with AJCC/TNM T-stage in primary ocular adnexal EMZL patients. Lymphoma of the eyelid has the highest disease-specific mortality in primary EMZL, and in the full cohort of EMZL and DLBCL patients.

Abstract
The most common cause of both unilateral and bilateral proptosis in adults is thyroid eye disease (TED), and the diagnosis in typical cases is made without imaging. However, many other orbital diseases, including inflammatory, infectious, and neoplastic processes, can mimic the symptoms of thyroid eye disease, highlighting the importance of imaging and biopsy in challenging cases. There are limited reports in the literature of orbital lymphoma being diagnosed in patients with a history of thyroid eye disease. Here, we present the case of a patient with long-standing TED who developed new asymmetric proptosis and was subsequently diagnosed with systemic follicular lymphoma.

Abstract
We systematically analyzed the kinetics of tumor regression, the impact of residual lesions on disease control and the applicability of the Lugano classification in follow-up MRI of orbital non-Hodgkin lymphomas that were irradiated with photons. We retrospectively analyzed a total of 154 pre- and post-irradiation MRI datasets of 36 patients with low-grade, Ann-Arbor stage I, orbital non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Patients with restricted conjunctival involvement were excluded. Lymphoma lesions were delineated and volumetrically analyzed on T1-weighted sequences. Tumor residues were present in 91.2% of all cases during the first six months after treatment. Volumetric partial response rates (> 50% volume reduction) were 75%, 69.2%, and 50% at 12-24 months, 36-48 months and > 48 months after the end of treatment. The corresponding complete response (CR) rates according to the Lugano classification were 20%, 23.1% and 50%. During a median clinical follow-up of 37 months no significant differences in progression free survival (PFS) rates were observed between the CR and non-CR group (p = 0.915). A residual tumor volume below 20% of the pretreatment volume should be expected at long-term follow-up beyond one year after radiotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To characterise the radiological features of orbital lymphoma subtypes. METHODS This was a multicentre, retrospective study to analyse radiological and clinical characteristics of orbital lymphoma by histological subtype across two sites within Australia and the United States. RESULTS A total of eighty-eight patients were included. The most common subtypes were extranodal marginal zone lymphoma [EMZL] (48, 54.5%), follicular lymphoma [FL] (16, 18.2%), and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma [DLBCL] (15, 17.0%). Clinically, significant associations were found between DLBCL and vision change (p < .01), pain (p < .01), extraocular movement limitation (p = .01), and optic neuropathy (p = .01). Radiologically, there was no significant difference between the individual histopathological sub-groups with respect to bone destruction (p = .30), optic nerve involvement (p = .30) and diffuse appearance (p = .84). However, if categorised as either aggressive or indolent, aggressive lymphoma subtypes were significantly more likely to demonstrate globe indentation radiologically than indolent subtypes (Odds Ratio = 5.5, 95% CI: 1.3, 23.3; p = .02). CONCLUSIONS DLBCL was significantly associated with vision change, pain, extraocular movement limitation and optic neuropathy clinically. Aggressive lymphoma subtypes were significantly more likely to demonstrate globe indentation radiologically. Otherwise, there were no significant differences between lymphoma subtypes and radiological findings on MRI and CT.

Abstract
Mantle cell lymphoma is a B-cell malignancy, which, in its classic form, usually involves lymph nodes and extranodal sites, and, among the extranodal sites, the gastrointestinal tract and the Waldeyer's ring are most prevalent. MCL is rarely reported in the ocular adnexa, a site more frequently affected by extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, which is a form of low-grade malignancy. The diagnosis of MCL presenting in the ocular adnexa requires special attention as its rarity in this location combined with the not uncommon CD5 negativity of the disease when occurring in the ocular adnexa, may lead the pathologist to overlook the diagnosis and misinterpret MCL as marginal zone B cell lymphoma, which has a totally different behavior. Herein, we present a case of primary bilateral conjunctival CD5-negative MCL in a patient having no other sites affected by lymphoma and we discuss possible diagnostic pitfalls.

Abstract
Background Ocular adnexal B-cell lymphoma (OABL) is a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The molecular characteristics of OABL remain poorly understood. We performed an integrated study to investigate the proteotranscriptome landscape and identify novel molecular characteristics and biomarkers of OABL. Methods Integrated quantitative proteome and transcriptome were performed on 40 OABL 12 idiopathic orbital inflammation, 6 reactive lymphoid hyperplasia, and 13 aesthetic orbital plastic surgery specimens. Complete clinicopathologic and prognostic data of the patients were recorded. Results We identified high global protein-mRNA concordance as a novel characteristic of OABL. High concordance was related to OABL recurrence. By integrated expression profile, motif enrichment and trend analysis, we found that alternative splicing is inflammation-independently dysregulated in OABL. After portraying the aberrant alternative splicing event landscape, we demonstrated the oncogenic role of ADAR, a core splicing regulator that regulates the splicing of Rho GTPase and cell cycle members. We found that ADAR regulates cell proliferation and Rho GTPase inhibitor sensitivity of lymphoma. We identified DNAJC9 as a potential biomarker for OABL in proteomic analyses. Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescent staining showed the nuclear staining of DNAJC9 was significantly higher in extranodal marginal zone lymphomas compared with inflammation specimens. Conclusions These results provide an integrated gene expression profiling and demonstrate that high global protein-mRNA concordance is a prognosis-related molecular characteristic of OABL. We portray the alternative splicing events landscape of OABL, and reveal the oncogenic role of ADAR. We identified strong nuclear staining of DNAJC9 as a promising pathology diagnostic biomarker for extranodal marginal zone lymphomas.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report the efficacy and toxicity of External beam Radiotherapy (EBRT) as a sole treatment for MALT and Follicular Primary Orbital and Ocular adnexal Lymphoma (POOAL). METHODS Retrospective review of all POOAL patients treated with EBRT utilizing megavoltage photon or electron beam radiotherapy between 2003 and 2015. Patient demographics, tumour extent and pathology, radiotherapy techniques, and treatment outcomes were reviewed. The actuarial rates of tumour control and radiation toxicities were calculated using Kaplan-Meier estimates. RESULTS This study included 167 tumours, of which MALT lymphoma involved 149 (89 %). The conjunctiva and orbit were equally involved as the predominant site (48 %). Megavoltage photon radiotherapy was used in 60 % of predominantly orbital lymphoma and Electron beam with lens shielding in 77 % of the conjunctival lymphoma. The majority (95 %) were treated with a total dose of 25 Gy in 10 fractions. Local control rate was 98 % (CI: 93-100 %) at 5 years. The long-term RT toxicities included dry eye in 27 eyes (16 %) and cataract in 22 (13 %). None of the patients developed significant structural or functional radiation toxicity. CONCLUSION External Beam Radiotherapy, with lens shielding whenever indicated, at a dose of 20-30 Gy delivered over 10-20 fractions is an efficacious and safe primary treatment option for POOAL lymphoma, with excellent local control and low incidence of late manageable ocular toxicities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence of histopathological subtypes, the clinical stage at presentation and treatment modalities in Polish patients with orbital lymphoma (OL) and to determine prognostic outcomes. METHODS The retrospective study of 107 patients with OL treated in a 14-year period in Polish hematological centers. The analysis included histopathological subtype, disease clinical advancement, treatment modalities, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). RESULTS The median patient age was 60 years (range 51-71). Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma accounted for slightly more than half of all cases of orbital lymphoma (51%). The second most common subtype was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (29%). Primary orbital lymphoma was diagnosed in 48% of all patients. According to the Ann Arbor, localized stage IE of orbital lymphoma was diagnosed only in 39% of all patients. Systemic involvement was observed in more than half of all patients (52%). The median follow-up period was 30 months (range 0-160 months). Patients with non-MALT lymphoma had a significantly inferior PFS compared to patients with MALT lymphoma, (p = 0.047). Patients with primary orbital lymphoma had a superior PFS compared to patients with secondary orbital lymphoma [median PFS 104.5 months vs. 33.4 months], (p = 0.069). Younger patients with MALT lymphoma were characterized by superior PFS (median PFS not reached) compared to other studied subgroups of patients (older patients with MALT lymphoma, younger and older non-MALT lymphoma patients) with a median PFS of 30.5, 32.2, 32.6 months respectively (p = 0.039). Patients treated with chemotherapy alone had inferior PFS compared to patients treated with combined therapies (p = 0.034). The median PFS across patients who received chemotherapy alone was 23.7 months, whereas across other patients was 73.9 months. CONCLUSIONS Secondary lymphoma accounts for more than half of the orbital lymphoma in Polish population. The advanced clinical stage of the disease (non-IE according to Ann Arbor) concerns two-thirds of the overall population of patients with orbital lymphomas and one-third of MALT lymphoma patients. The high incidence of advanced stages of orbital lymphoma may indicate the need for combined treatment. Combined orbital lymphoma treatment is associated with superior PFS compared to chemotherapy alone in overall population of patients with orbital lymphoma.

Abstract
Objective Primary orbital lymphoma (POL) accounts for an essential part of adult orbital malignancies. Nevertheless, it remains a relatively rare lymphoid malignancy, accounting for <1% of all non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) cases. Orbital diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is one of the most prevalent subtypes of POL that confers the worst outcomes. The prognostic determinants of orbital DLBCL remain unknown. Therefore, a retrospective analysis was conducted by investigating the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database for independent predictive factors for the prognosis of orbital DLBCL. Materials and methods Using the SEER program, we acquired patient data including demographics, clinical characteristics, and treatment strategies. Our cohort included cases of primary orbital DLBCL diagnosed from 2000 to 2017. We conducted Kaplan-Meier analyses to visualize the overall survival (OS) and cause-specific survival (CSS). The Cox proportional hazard regression models were applied to assess the effects of these prognostic factors on OS and CSS. Results The present cohort included 332 patients with orbital DLBCL. Age was the most impacted variable by orbital DLBCL. Three independent prognostic variables of orbital DLBCL were identified on diagnosis: advanced age, no radiation treatment, and late-stage (Stage IV). Moreover, patients who underwent chemotherapy demonstrated a greater OS when compared with those who did not. In orbital DLBCL, being unmarried was also a poor prognostic factor. Conclusion The current study is the largest population-based case series of orbital DLBCL. The age at the time of diagnosis, marital status, absence of chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and tumor stage were all found to be correlated with worse prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary ocular adnexal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma (POAML) is the most common subtype of indolent ocular adnexal lymphomas. Although radiotherapy (RT) is the standard of care for localized POAML, it can occasionally lead to permanent side effects. Other treatment strategies, such as rituximab (R) monotherapy and immunochemotherapy, have been used for POAML treatment, but their long-term benefits and relative merits remain unclear. While watchful waiting (WW) is a potential option for some indolent lymphomas, the benefits of WW for POAML patients are also unclear. METHODS We here retrospectively analyzed 75 patients who were diagnosed with POAML between 2008 and 2019 in the institutions of the Kyoto Clinical Hematology Study Group. RESULTS Commonly involved sites were conjunctiva (42.7%), orbit (36.0%), and lacrimal gland (12.0%), and most patients (92.0%) presented with Ann Arbor stage IE disease. The treatment strategy was selected at the physicians' discretion. More patients without subjective symptoms by tumor mass were subjected to WW (29 patients), while more patients with tumor-derived subjective symptoms were treated by tumor-directed therapy (24 received focal RT, and 19 received R monotherapy). Complete response rates were 79.2% and 42.1% in the RT and R groups, respectively. At 60 months of follow-up, the estimated proportions of POAML patients not requiring new treatment were 69.4%, 85.2%, and 53.8% in the WW, RT, and R groups, respectively. There were no significant differences in the time to start a new treatment between WW and RT groups (median: both not reached [NR], p = 0.187) and between WW and R groups (median: NR vs. 69.0 months, p = 0.554). No specific predictive factor for the future need of treatment was identified in the WW group. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrate WW may be an acceptable treatment option for POAML, especially for asymptomatic patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OR OBJECTIVE To provide a comprehensive recurrence and toxicity analysis of patients treated with radiotherapy alone for stage I/II (Ann-Arbor classification) indolent orbital lymphoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical charts of 46 patients (and 51 orbits) treated at our centre with radiotherapy between 1995 and 2012 for biopsy-proven stage I/IIE primary orbital lymphomas. We evaluated treatment response and performed a comprehensive toxicity analysis with correlation to delivered radiation dose. RESULTS At diagnosis, the median age was 63.5 years (range: 20-92). At initial diagnosis 43 and 3 patients had unilateral, synchronous bilateral involvement while there were 2 cases of contralateral metachronous failure. The predominant histological subtype was extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue in 42 (91.3%), follicular in 1 (2.2%), lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma in 1 (2.2%) and other indolent histology in 2 (4.3%) patients. Most lymphomas were located in the conjunctiva (18/35.3%) or eyelids (18/35.3%). Thirty-eight (82.6%) patients presented with stage I while 8/46 (17.4%) with stage II disease. The median radiation dose was 39.6 Gy (range: 21.6-48.6 Gy) delivered in 1.8-2 Gy single fractions. At a median follow-up of 83 months (range: 7-258 months), the complete remission rate was 98%. A local relapse was observed in 2/51 (3.9%) orbits and 4/46 (8.7%) patients had systemic relapse. The 5- and 10-year PFS rates were 79.2% (95% CI: 73.0%-85.4%) and 67.6% (95% CI: 59.4%-75.8%); 5- and 10-year OS was 83.6% (95% CI: 77.9%-89.3%) and 76.5% (95% CI: 69.4%-83.6%), respectively. In total, 66 acute toxicity events (all-grade) were observed: 5/51 (9.8%) ≥G2 acute conjunctivitis, 2/51 (3.9%) cases of G2 acute keratitis, 1/51 (2%) cases of ≥G2 ophthalmagia and 12/51 (23.5%) cases of ≥G2 xerophthalmia. Furthermore, 45 chronic adverse events were observed in 34/51 (66.7%) irradiated orbits with 30 late adverse events attributed to cataract. CONCLUSION Our analysis confirms the role of radiotherapy alone at lower doses in the treatment of indolent orbital lymphomas. Further research is required to assess the efficacy of ultra-low-dose radiotherapy and anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies to further mitigate long-term sequelae.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Orbital mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, which are rare and indolent, often present at an early stage. We report the efficacy and safety outcomes of treatment in these patients. METHODS We analyzed adult patients with stage IE or IIE orbital MALT lymphoma between 1999 and 2017 treated at our institute. We assessed local control (LC) rates, overall survival (OS), relapse-free survival (RFS) using Kaplan Meier method and the incidence of late toxicities. RESULTS Seventy patients were analyzed for clinical outcomes. The median age at diagnosis was 52 years (IQR-45-62 years). Radiotherapy was offered to 97% of patients and the dose ranged from 36 to 45 Gy. Chemotherapy was administered in 5(7.1%) patients. Relapse occurred in 8 patients (local: 2, distant: 6). At a median follow-up of 101 months (IQR-47-146 months), the median OS and RFS was not reached. 8-year OS, RFS and LC rates were 96.5%, 88.5%, 96.7% respectively. Univariate analysis showed age ≤60 years and lacrimal involvement significantly correlated with better OS (P = .01 and .04, respectively). Cataract was the most common sequelae observed in 31 patients (44.3%). CONCLUSION Moderate doses of radiotherapy are curative in early-stage orbital MALT lymphoma with favorable clinical outcomes. Lower doses of radiation can reduce the toxicity further, without compromising efficacy.

MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2022; 58:818. [PMID: 35744081 PMCID: PMC9229471 DOI: 10.3390/medicina58060818] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2022] [Revised: 06/14/2022] [Accepted: 06/15/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type is the most common subtype of the ocular adnexal lymphoma. Despite its excellent prognosis, some patients experience partial remission or progressive disease. We aimed to evaluate clinicopathologic differences in the treatment responder group by comparing complete remission (CR) and non-complete remission (non-CR). Materials and Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed 48 patients who were diagnosed with ocular adnexal MALT lymphoma at Ulsan University Hospital between March 2002 and August 2018. Patients who were followed up for less than 6 months were excluded. Histologic and clinical features were analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups: CR and non-CR. Results: Among the 48 patients, 33 achieved CR and 15 achieved non-CR during the median follow-up period of 40.00 months (range, 7-109 months). In univariable analysis, more patients tend to undergo treatment in the CR group, and post-radiotherapy (post-RT) SUVmax, PET and serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels were higher in the non-CR group (p = 0.043, p = 0.016, and p = 0.042, respectively). In a multivariable analysis, only application of treatment, including radiotherapy or chemotherapy with immunotherapy, was related to CR (odd ratio 7.301, 95% confidence interval 1.273-41.862, p = 0.026). In subgroup analysis according to the site of involvement, none of the variables were significant except for the post-RT SUVmax of PET and level of serum LDH in the non-conjunctiva group (p = 0.026, and p = 0.037, respectively). Seven (14.6%) patients had a recurrence, and those with a recurring site other than the primary site had a higher Ki-67 labeling index, although it was not statistically significant (9.56% vs. 18.00%, p = 0.095). Conclusions: Although belonging to the early stages, the non-CR rate was high in patients with high serum LDH levels, and recurred patients had higher Ki-67. Thus, considering active treatment is recommended in this group of patients.

Abstract
Background Kimura’s disease is a rare, benign, chronic inflammatory disease that presents as painless, solid masses mainly affecting the deep subcutaneous areas of the head and neck, especially the salivary glands, parotid glands and nearby lymph nodes. It is characterized by elevated peripheral blood eosinophil and Immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels. Case presentation A 31-year-old Asian male presented with an orbital space-occupying lesion lasting for 1.5 years. Ten years prior, surgical excision of bilateral fossa cubitalis and groin masses was performed, and the pathological examination showed "lymphoproliferative disease". One year later, masses reappeared near the surgical sites; they grew slowly and shrank after glucocorticoid treatment. At this point, admission examinations showed in the peripheral blood an eosinophil proportion of 13.4%, a total IgE level of 26,900.00 IU/mL, prurigo present on the whole body, and multiple palpable masses near the bilateral fossa cubitalis and groin. The left eyeball was exophthalmic. The left elbow mass was excised, and the pathological examination confirmed Kimura’s disease. Oral glucocorticoid therapy is taken and tapering regularly. The eosinophil count returned to normal, the IgE level gradually decreased, the orbital space-occupying lesion and elbow and groin masses shrank significantly, and the whole-body skin prurigo disappeared. Currently, the patient has been in a stable condition for eighteen months. Conclusion Our case provides a novel insight that Kimura’s disease should be involved in the differential diagnosis of inflammatory lesion mass of orbit and also supports systemic regular glucocorticoid as a valuable therapy of such condition, but close follow-up and long-term observation are crucial.

The Biology of Ocular Adnexal Marginal Zone Lymphomas. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14051264.

Abstract
This review focuses on the biology of ocular adnexal marginal zone B-cell lymphomas of the mucosa-associated lymphatic tissue (MALT) (OAMZL) subtype. The ocular adnexa includes all structures and tissues within the orbit except for the eye bulb. In the region of the ocular adnexa, MALT lymphomas represent the most common subtype of lymphoma, accounting for around 8% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas. These lymphomas are often preceded by inflammatory precursor lesions. Either autoantigens or infectious antigens may lead to disease development by functioning as continuous antigenic triggers. This triggering leads to a constitutive activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway. The role of antigenic stimulation in the pathogenesis of OAMZL is supported by the detection of somatic mutations (partially with further intraclonal diversity) in their rearranged immunoglobulin V genes; hence, their derivation from germinal-center-experienced B cells, by a restricted IGHV gene usage, and the validation of autoreactivity of the antibodies in selected cases. In the established lymphomas, NF-κB activity is further enforced by mutations in various genes regulating NF-κB activity (e.g., TNFAIP3, MYD88), as well as recurrent chromosomal translocations affecting NF-κB pathway components in a subset of cases. Further pathogenetic mechanisms include mutations in genes of the NOTCH pathway, and of epigenetic regulators. While gene expression and sequencing studies are available, the role of differential methylation of lymphoma cells, the role of micro-RNAs, and the contribution of the microenvironment remain largely unexplored.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare characteristics of initial ocular adnexal (OA) mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and initial systemic MCL. METHODS Retrospective, comparative case series. Patients treated for MCL at Mayo Clinic from 1/1/1990 to 11/30/2020. MCL was classified as initial OA if first site was OA or initial systemic if first site was elsewhere with progression or recurrence to the OA region. OUTCOME MEASURES Features, treatment, and survival. RESULTS There were 50 patients with MCL, 23 initial OA and 27 initial systemic. Patients with initial OA MCL had more conjunctival (52% vs. 19%, p = .017) involvement and less frequently received chemotherapy plus autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) (9% vs. 33%, p = .046) as initial treatment. Complete remission was achieved in 41 (91% vs. 74%, p = .152) patients. Five-year disease-specific survival was similar in initial OA and initial systemic MCL (92% vs. 83%, p = .187). Subanalysis of patients with initial OA MCL revealed 9 (39%) patients developed tumor recurrence, with mean time to recurrence of 28 months. Comparison (no recurrence vs. recurrence) of initial OA MCL patients revealed those with no recurrence had shorter mean final follow-up (3.3 vs. 9.8 years, p = .005) and more frequent initial treatment with rituximab-based chemotherapy plus ASCT (43% vs. 0%, p = .048). Recurrence had no effect on the 5-year age-adjusted risk of death from lymphoma (HR 2.17, 95% CI 0.55-9.09, p = .266). CONCLUSIONS Initial OA and initial systemic MCL patients differ in presentation and management but have similar survival.

Abstract
Lymphomas of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses (NPS) are rare. Knowledge on sinonasal B‐cell lymphoma (SNBCL) primarily comes from case series or single‐center studies on small cohorts. We sought to determine the subtype distribution, clinical characteristics, disease behavior, and prognosis on a nationwide scale, with an emphasis on prognostic factors for the most common sinonasal lymphoma, primary sinonasal diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (PSDLBCL). We collated all data from medical records and national databases on patients registered with SNBCL from 1980 through 2018 in the national pathology registry and collected all tissue samples for validation of diagnosis. We included 205 patients and found 10 different subtypes of lymphoma. Diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) was the predominant subtype (80%). The incidence of SNBCL was 0.14/100,000 person‐years. The five‐year progression‐free survival (PFS) and overall survival rates for PSDLBCL were 50% and 56%, respectively. For PSDLBCL, Rituximab showed a statistically significant effect (Hazard Ratio 0.22, p < 0.001), whereas consolidative radiotherapy combined with immunochemotherapy was of limited value (PFS, p = 0.93). When treatment failure occurred, DLBCL showed a distinct pattern of recurrence/dissemination to the NPS, skin, breast, central nervous system (CNS), and/or testis. Collectively, DLBCL comprised a clear majority of SNBCLs, although nine other subtypes were represented. Data showed that immunochemotherapy increased survival for PSDLBCL and that the addition of radiotherapy did not benefit patients. Furthermore, treatment failure for sinonasal DLBCL showed a possible common pathogenesis with primary extranodal lymphomas of specific locations (e.g., CNS, skin, breast, and testis).

Abstract
ABSTRACT Orbital lymphoma is a rare condition with non-specific and variable clinical course. This features are the main obstacle for diagnosis and treatment. A 43-year-old female patient complaining of vision loss and hemiface paresthesia, Proptosis was noted associated with an expansive lesion involving the right temporal lobe and orbital region. Craniotomy was performed to allow orbital decompression and anatomopathogical analysis. Final diagnosis was Burkitt Lymphoma. Patient evolved to death after seven days. A 40-year-old male patient complaining excessive tearing and sight disturbance. Proptosis on the right eye was noticed. Extra-conal expansive lesion was observed. Final diagnosis was mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. Radio and chemotherapy protocol was initiated. In a 3 year follow-up, there are no signs of recurrence or ocular/orbital impairment. Maxillofacial surgeons should be aware of the initial clinical presentation and always include lymphoid neoplasms as a differential diagnosis in cases which acute functional alterations are present.

Abstract
PURPOSE To clarify the incidence, demography and clinical features of orbital tumors diagnosed in a single institute in Japan. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective, observational case series. METHODS Patients with primary orbital tumors including tumor-like lesions diagnosed clinically or histopathologically at Tokyo Medical University Hospital between 1995 and 2019 were analyzed. Incidence of all orbital tumors, demographic profile and clinical features of major benign and malignant tumors were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS Totally 1000 cases of primary orbital tumor were diagnosed clinically or histopathologically during the study period. Benign tumors accounted for 72% and malignant tumors 28%. 55% of benign tumors and 99% of malignant tumors were proven histopathologically. The most common benign orbital tumor was idiopathic orbital inflammation (27%), followed by IgG4-related ophthalmic disease (17%), cavernous venous malformation (13%) and pleomorphic adenoma (9%). The most common malignant tumor was lymphoma (70%), followed by adenoid cystic carcinoma (7%) and solitary fibrous tumor (5%). CONCLUSIONS Epidemiology of orbital tumors has changed by the improvement of imaging techniques, establishment of novel clinical and histopathological criteria, and changes in population age structure associated with the aging society. Currently, lymphoproliferative diseases including lymphoma and IgG4-related ophthalmic diseases form the major orbital tumors in Japan.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate biodata, symptoms/signs, lymphoma type, localization, stage level, treatment choice and outcome of ocular adnexal lymphoma (OAL). PATIENTS AND METHODS A single-center retrospective analysis of 56 patients with OAL was performed from 1998 to 2018. RESULTS OAL involved the orbit in 44.6%, the conjunctiva in 32.1%, the lacrimal apparatus in 14.3% and the eyelid in 8.93%. Extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (EMZL) was found in 60.7%, follicular lymphoma (FL) in 21.4%, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in 7.14%, mantle cell lymphoma in 5.36% and chronic lymphatic leukaemia in 5.36% patients. No relapse was seen in 76%. EMZL and FL had a significantly better overall survival compared to other lymphoma types (p=0.002). Patients with Ann Arbor stage IE had a significantly better prognosis than those with stages higher than IE (p=0.048). CONCLUSION Our data suggest that clinicopathological features such as Ann Arbor stage influence survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neurolymphomatosis involving the cranial nerves (CNs) is rare. We sought a better understanding of the primary disease sites and patterns of spread in neurolymphomatosis of the orbit and retro-orbital cranial nerves. METHODS Patients with lymphoma and MRI evidence of neurolymphomatosis of CN II, III, IV, V1, or V2 were retrospectively reviewed. Demographics and primary disease site and sites of neurolymphomatosis on MRI were recorded. Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to compare number of sites of neurolymphomatosis with lymphoma type and survival. RESULTS The study included 18 patients. The most frequent types of lymphoma were diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL) (n = 9) and marginal zone (n = 3). In 9 patients, lymphoma presented as a mass (n = 7) or infiltrative disease (n = 2) directly involving the orbit; in 6, a maxillofacial mass spread directly to CNs; and in 3, lymphoma at remote sites spread to orbital CNs. Overall, 81 sites of neurolymphomatosis were noted. The most common sites were the maxillary nerve (V2) including at the infraorbital fissure or foramen rotundum (17 patients; 19 nerves), pterygopalatine fossa (16 patients; 19 nerves), and cavernous sinus (9 patients; 12 nerves). Number of sites of neurolymphomatosis was significantly lower for DLBCL than for other lymphoma types (p = 0.007). Number of sites of neurolymphomatosis did not affect survival (p = 0.26). The mean interval between the pathologic diagnosis and MRI documentation of the full extent of neurolymphomatosis was 39 days after pathologic diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS Based on our study results, neurolymphomatosis in the orbit appears to be frequently associated with an orbital and/or maxillofacial mass and commonly involves CN V2, the pterygopalatine fossa, and the cavernous sinus. DLBCL may be associated with fewer sites of neurolymphomatosis than other lymphomas. In patients with lymphoma, a systematic search for neurolymphomatosis is imperative for early detection.

Abstract
PURPOSE To characterize the clinical features of subtype-specific lacrimal gland lymphoma and their effect on patient survival. DESIGN Multicenter retrospective interventional case series. METHODS Patient data were collected from 6 international eye cancer centers from January 1, 1980, through December 31, 2017. All patients with histologically verified primary or secondary lymphoma of the lacrimal gland were included. Primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS). RESULTS A total of 260 patients with lacrimal gland lymphoma were identified. The median age was 58 years and 52% of patients were men. Non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphomas constituted 99% (n = 258) and T-cell lymphomas constituted 1% (n = 2). The most frequent lymphoma subtypes were extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (EMZL) (n = 177, 68%), follicular lymphoma (FL) (n = 26, 10%), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (n = 25, 10%), and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) (n = 17, 7%). Low-grade lymphomas (EMZL and FL) were most commonly treated with external beam radiotherapy (EBRT), whereas high-grade lymphomas (DLBCL and MCL) were treated with chemotherapy in combination with rituximab and/or EBRT. The prognosis was relatively good with a 5-year OS and DSS of 73.8% and 87.5%, respectively. Lymphoma subtype was a statistically significant predictor for DSS, with EMZL (5-year DSS: 93.4%) having the best prognosis and DLBCL (5-year DSS: 52.6%) having the poorest. CONCLUSIONS This is the largest reported collection of data of subtype-specific lacrimal gland lymphoma. The subtype distribution of lacrimal gland lymphoma resembles that of the ocular adnexa. Prognosis is good and the histologic subtype is a significant predictor for disease-specific survival.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Orbital disease represents a diverse spectrum of pathology and can result in a variety of neuro-ophthalmic manifestations. The aim of this review is to provide updates on recent advances in our understanding of orbital disease secondary to thyroid eye disease, myositis, IgG4-related disease, sarcoidosis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis and various tumours. RECENT FINDINGS With regards to thyroid eye disease, there have been recent advances in the development of steroid-sparing therapies, new modalities for objectively monitoring disease activity and increased understanding of the role of environmental risk factors. There has been interest in characterizing the clinical course and underlying mechanism of optic nerve disease secondary to orbital disorders, which has led to advances in how we monitor for and prevent permanent vision loss. Increased knowledge of orbital tumour subtype histopathology and the development of novel classification systems has had prognostic value and aided medical decision-making. SUMMARY Orbital disease occurs secondary to a wide variety of diseases and can lead to neuro-ophthalmic manifestations with significant morbidity. Advances in our understanding of different subtypes of orbital disease have improved our ability to treat these potentially debilitating conditions.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the clinical features, prognostic outcomes of patients with orbital and ocular adnexal lymphoma (OALs) in Taiwanese cohort. METHODS Total 112 patients with OALs were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic information such as age, gender, lymphoma subtype, tumor location and treatment modalities were recorded. The primary endpoints were disease-specific survival (DSS), and progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS The mean patient age was 59.0 ± 15.5 years (range, 23-92 years). The major histopathologic subtypes were mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma in 76 patients (67.9%), followed by diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (9.8%), follicular cell lymphoma (FL) (8.0%), and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) (5.4%). The anatomical locations for OALs were the orbit (44 patients, 39.3%), the conjunctiva (31 patients, 27.7%), the lacrimal gland (28 patients, 25.0%), and the eyelid (8 patients, 7.1%). With a mean follow-up time of 74.5 ± 59.8 months (range 6-342 months), the DSS for all patients were 93.1%, 87.7%, and 68.8% at 60, 120, and 180 months' follow-up, respectively. The PFS at 60, 120, and 180 months' follow-up were 86.2%, 61.2%, and 44.6%, respectively. Regarding the analysis of prognostic factors, patients with high grade lymphoma subtype and advanced stage exhibited a worse prognosis. CONCLUSIONS MALT type lymphoma constitutes most of OALs in Taiwan and occurs more frequently than in Western countries. Patients with MALT lymphoma, FL, SLL and earlier stage have favorable outcomes compared with patients of high grade lymphoma and Ann Arbor stage IV lymphoma.

Abstract
Lymphoma is the most common orbital malignancy in adults. Among the types of lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma is a particularly aggressive form, often discovered through systemic involvement, with a dismal prognosis due to frequent recurrences. It is secondary to a t (11 ; 14) (q13; q32) chromosomal translocation resulting in an anti-apoptotic signal via overexpression of Bcl-2. Treatment is based on R-CHOP poly-chemotherapy. We describe the case of a patient with an orbital recurrence of mantle cell lymphoma successfully treated with oral Bcl-2 inhibitor monotherapy. A 58-year-old man who was treated with R-CHOP 8 years ago for mantle cell lymphoma, in remission for 5 years, presented with progressive decreased visual acuity in the left eye, along with binocular diplopia. Clinical examination revealed a decrease in visual acuity in the left eye to 1/20 Parinaud 20 and a relative afferent pupillary defect on the left. External examination revealed a left cranial nerve VI palsy, 2mm of painless proptosis, and hypesthesia of the left V1 territory, leading to a diagnosis of left orbital apex syndrome. The disc and macular OCT were normal. The visual field showed enlargement of the left blind spot. An emergency CT scan and MRI revealed an apical extraconal tissue mass infiltrating the medial rectus muscle, extending to the superior orbital fissure, optic canal and left cavernous sinus, hyperintense on T2 weighted images and isointense on T1. The morphological appearance was strongly suggestive of an infiltrative lymphomatous process. An 18 FDG PET-scan identified the orbital lesion as well as enhancing lesions in the axilla and colon; given the clinical features and test results, the diagnosis of recurrent mantle cell lymphoma was made without biopsy. Treatment with Venetoclax (Bcl-2 inhibitor) was initiated. At one month of treatment, the orbital apex syndrome had entirely resolved, with visual acuity increased to 8/10 Parinaud 4 and a metabolic return to normal on PET scan. The PET scanner and clinical examination at 3 months were entirely normal. At the one-year follow-up visit, the patient was still on Venetoclax, the clinical examination was unchanged, and the PET-scan still showed a complete metabolic response.

Abstract
Simple Summary The treatment of orbital and eyelid B-cell lymphoma remains a field of progress. The aim of our study was to analyze patients diagnosed, staged and treated for orbital and eyelid B-cell lymphoma to assess clinical characteristics, treatment outcomes and recurrence patterns. We included in this study 141 cases of orbital and eyelid B-cell lymphoma. We found five lymphoma subtypes and we confirmed that the histopathologic subtype and the type of treatment were found to be the main factors influencing treatment outcome. Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to analyze patients diagnosed, staged and treated for orbital and eyelid B-cell lymphoma (OEL). Methods: One hundred and forty-one cases of OEL were included in this study. Primary endpoints were to analyze the histopathologic findings, the main risk factors and the type of treatment and to correlate them with recurrence of OEL. The secondary endpoint was to determine the progression-free survival (PFS) time. Results: Extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma was the most frequent subtype (66%), followed by small lymphocytic lymphoma (12.7%), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (9.2%), follicular lymphoma (6.6%), mantle cell lymphoma (4.3%) and Burkitt lymphoma (1.2%). The probability of relapse was influenced by the histopathologic subtype DLBCL (OR = 7.7, 95% CI 1.8–32.3) and treatment with chemotherapy (OR = 14.9, 95% CI 2.6–83.7). Multivariate analysis showed that the histopathologic subtype DLBCL and chemotherapy treatment retained statistical significance for a poorer PFS, with hazard ratios of 8.581 (p = 0.0112) and 9.239 (p = 0.0094), respectively. Conclusions: Five lymphoma subtypes were found in patients with OEL. The histopathologic subtype and the type of treatment were found to be the main factors influencing treatment outcome.

Abstract
Background To relate conjunctival melanoma characteristics to local control. Methods Retrospective, registry-based interventional study with data gathered from 10 ophthalmic oncology centres from 9 countries on 4 continents. Conjunctival melanoma patients diagnosed between January 2001 and December 2013 were enrolled in the study. Primary treatments included local excision, excision with cryotherapy and exenteration. Adjuvant treatments included topical chemotherapy, brachytherapy, proton and external beam radiotherapy (EBRT). Cumulative 5-year and 10-year Kaplan-Meier local recurrence rates were related to clinical and pathological T-categories of the eighth edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system. Results 288 patients had a mean initial age of 59.7±16.8 years. Clinical T-categories (cT) were cT1 (n=218,75.7%), cT2 (n=34, 11.8%), cT3 (n=15, 5.2%), cTx (n=21,7.3%) with no cT4. Primary treatment included local excision (n=161/288, 55.9%) followed by excision biopsy with cryotherapy (n=108/288, 37.5%) and exenteration (n=5/288, 1.7%). Adjuvant therapies included topical mitomycin (n=107/288, 37.1%), plaque-brachytherapy (n=55/288, 19.1%), proton-beam (n=36/288, 13.5%), topical interferon (n=20/288, 6.9%) and EBRT (n=15/288, 5.2%). Secondary exenteration was performed (n=11/283, 3.9%). Local recurrence was noted in 19.1% (median=3.6 years). Cumulative local recurrence was 5.4% (3.2–8.9%), 19.3% (14.4–25.5%) and 36.9% (26.5–49.9%) at 1, 5 and 10 years, respectively. cT3 and cT2 tumors were twice as likely to recur than cT1 tumours, but only cT3 had statistically significantly greater risk of local recurrence than T1 (p=0.013). Factors such as tumour ulceration, plica or caruncle involvement and tumour thickness were not significantly associated with an increased risk of local recurrence. Conclusion This multicentre international study showed that eighth edition of AJCC tumour staging was related to the risk of local recurrence of conjunctival melanoma after treatment. The 10-year cumulative local recurrence remains high despite current management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Lymphomas are the most frequent neoplasm of the orbit. However, the epidemiology of orbital lymphomas is not well reported. This study aimed to provide a population-based report on the epidemiology of orbital lymphomas and measure the trends in the incidence of orbital lymphoma cancer in South Korea. METHODS Nationwide cancer incidence data from 1999 to 2016 were obtained from the Korea Central Cancer Registry. Age-standardised incidence rates and annual percent changes were calculated according to sex and histological types. The analysis according to the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results summary stage classifications was performed from 2006 to 2016. Survival rates were estimated for cases diagnosed from 1999 to 2016. RESULTS A total of 630 patients (median age: 54 years) with orbital lymphoma in the orbital soft tissue were included in this study. The age-standardised incidence rates increased from 0.03 to 0.08 per 100 000 individuals between 1999 and 2016, with an annual percent change of 6.61%. The most common histopathological type of orbital lymphoma was extra marginal zone B cell lymphoma, accounting for 82.2% of all orbital lymphomas during 1999-2016, followed by diffuse large B cell lymphoma (9.2%). Five-year, 10-year and 15-year overall survival (OS) of orbital lymphoma was 90.8%, 83.8% and 75.8%, respectively. OS showed a significant decrease as age increased and no significant differences between men and women. CONCLUSION The incidence rate of orbital lymphoma is very low in South Korea. However, the incidence rate has increased over the past years. Orbital lymphomas have a worse prognosis as age increases.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the incidence, clinicopathological characteristics and survival of ocular adnexal lymphoma (OAL) in the paediatric population. Methods and analysis In this retrospective case series, the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database was accessed to identify individuals with OAL ≤18 years of age, diagnosed between 1973 and 2015. OAL located in the eyelid, conjunctiva, lacrimal apparatus and orbit were included. Main outcome measures were the age-adjusted incidence rates (IRs) per 1 000 000 population at risk (calculated for the period 2000–2015) and descriptive statistics of demographic and clinicopathological features. Results The IR of paediatric OAL was 0.12 (95% CI 0.08 to 0.16) per 1 000 000. Males (0.15; 95% CI 0.10 to 0.22) and blacks (0.24; 95% CI 0.13 to 0.42) had a higher tendency for OAL development. A total of 55 tumours in 54 children were identified. The majority were localised (78.4%), conjunctival (49.1%) lymphomas. Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL, 45.5%, n=25) was the most frequent subtype, followed by diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL, 9.1%, n=5), B lymphoblastic lymphoma (7.3%, n=4), follicular lymphoma (5.5%, n=3), Burkitt lymphoma (5.5%, n=3), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL, 3.6%, n=2), small lymphocytic lymphoma (1.8%, n=1), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, immunoblastic (1.8%, n=1) and panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (1.8%, n=1). Localised, low-grade, conjunctival lymphomas were frequently treated with complete excision with or without radiation, while high-grade and distant tumours usually received chemotherapy. Only 29.1% of paediatric OAL cases were treated with radiation. Three out of five (60%) patients with DLBCL died of lymphoma at a median follow-up of 21 (range 10–86) months, and 1 out of 2 (50%) patients with ALCL died of lymphoma at 23 months from diagnosis. Conclusion OAL in the paediatric population is rare. The majority of OAL are EMZL and are characterised by excellent prognosis. The histological subtype was found to be the main predictor of outcome with cancer-specific deaths observed in patients with DLBCL and ALCL.

Abstract
Proptosis, the protrusion of the eyeball from the orbit, results from a wide variety of pathologies that can be vision- or life-threatening. Clinical history, associated physical exam findings, and imaging features are all crucial in establishing the underlying etiology. The differential diagnosis is broad, and includes infectious, inflammatory, vascular, and neoplastic entities that range from benign and indolent, to malignant and aggressive. While treatment varies significantly based on the disease process, all are aimed at preserving vision, salvaging the globe, preventing disfigurement, and reducing mortality. Both internists and general ophthalmologists should be familiar with the causes of proptosis in order to initiate the work-up for, and appropriately triage, affected patients.

Abstract
Both infective and neoplastic eyelid and orbital conditions in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients are often the result of opportunistic or co-infections (OI). In most cases, these clinical findings in younger patients alert the physician to suspected underlying HIV infection. When the eyelids and periorbital skin are primarily involved in OI with varicella-zoster virus it is called Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus. Co-infection with a Pox virus manifests as molluscum contagiosum eruptions. Orbital cellulitis is secondary to various organisms (Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Candida albicans, Aspergillus). Neoplastic disorders are also often associated with OI such as human herpes virus 8 in Kaposi Sarcoma, Epstein-Barr virus in Hodgkin Lymphoma and human papillomavirus 16 and 18 in squamous cell carcinoma. In this review we share our personal clinical experience with HIV disease in Sub-Saharan Africa over more than two decades and provide photographs of cases to illustrate pertinent aspects of the conditions discussed.
