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
Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL) is the most common subtype of ocular lymphomas. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and EMZL with large-cell transformation present diagnostic challenges. Radiotherapy is the standard treatment for ocular lymphomas, but complications and relapse are common. Diagnostic utility in challenging cases, as well as treatment options using immune checkpoint inhibitors, are unclear in ocular lymphomas. We herein investigated the PD-1, PD-L1, and IDO1 staining patterns in 20 cases of ocular lymphomas, including EMZL (n=14), EMZL with increased large cells (n=2), and DLBCL (n=4). PD-1, PD-L1, and IDO1 staining was not detected in lymphoma cells in any cases but was observed within the tumor microenvironment in all cases. Positivity for PD-1, PD-L1, and IDO1 in inflammatory cells was seen either intratumorally or peritumorally. In all 6 cases with significantly more large B cells, the density of PD-1, PD-L1, and IDO1 expression in the tumor microenvironment was higher than that of the remaining 14 cases without large B cells (P-value<0.0001), whereas other clinicopathologic features showed no statistical correlation. Increased expression of PD-1, PD-L1, and IDO1 in the inflammatory milieu in cases with large cells may provide diagnostic utility in small biopsies as well as therapeutic potential.

Long-Term Survival and Factors Associated with Increased Mortality in Patients with Ocular Adnexal Lymphomas. Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:2252. [PMID: 38927956 PMCID: PMC11201500 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16122252] [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: 05/23/2024] [Revised: 06/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Orbital and ocular adnexal lymphoma (OAL) affects the orbit and the surrounding structures and can arise as several subtypes with variable prognoses. We performed an observational study on the relationship between OAL subtype, diagnostic features, and prognosis to offer valuable insights into imaging techniques, such as Positron Emission Tomography with 2-deoxy-2-[fluorine-18] fluoro-D-glucose integrated with Computed Tomography (18F-FDG PET-CT), in predicting outcomes. With this aim, we retrospectively reviewed 99 patients with OALs, recording demographics, cancer subtype, location and treatment, 18FDG avidity, and bone marrow positivity. We divided patients into Group 1 (those presenting with extranodal marginal zone lymphoma-EMZL) and Group 2, including all other subtypes. The primary outcome was long-term cancer-specific survival (CSS) based on key predictors, performed through Kaplan-Meier curves and the log-rank test, with a p < 0.05 significance threshold. The mean patient age was 67 years (57-75.5). The most frequent histopathologic subtypes were EMZL lymphoma in 69 patients (69.7%), small lymphocytic lymphoma (11.1%) and diffuse-large B-cell lymphoma (10.1%). Patients of Group 1 showed a better prognosis (CSS = 80%) compared to those of Group 2 (CSS = 60%) (p = 0.01). In patients with high-grade lymphoma, the occurrence of 18FDG avidity (p = 0.003) and bone marrow positivity (p = 0.005) were related to a worse prognosis. In our group, EMZL was the most prominent subtype of OALs and exhibited the best prognosis, low 18FDG avidity, and bone marrow negativity. By observing specific patterns in radiological findings, it is possible to increase our understanding of disease progression, treatment response, and the overall prognosis in OAL patients.

Abstract
Ocular adnexa region (OAR) primary lymphomas are uncommon, accounting for 1-2% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas and 8% of extranodal lymphomas. Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL) originates from several epithelial tissues, including the stomach, salivary gland, lung, small intestine, thyroid gland, and ocular adnexa region. Here, we report a 66-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with EMZL of OAR. In consideration of the possible side effect of radiotherapy, such as conjunctivitis, visual acuity impairment, and even retinal complications, she received six cycles of triweekly targeted chemotherapy with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CVP) without radiotherapy. Then, she remained in complete remission up to the present day.

Abstract
Lymphomas of the eye and ocular adnexa are rare lymphoproliferative diseases of the ocular and ocular adnexal tissue. The incidence of these diseases has been rapidly increasing over the past few decades. The exact pathogenesis remains unknown, but it is postulated to be multifactorial and includes genetic aberrations, epigenetic and environmental factors, infectious agents, and chronic antigenic stimulation. The majority of ocular and ocular adnexal lymphomas are of B-cell origin, except for eyelid lymphomas, which are more often of T-cell type. Lymphoproliferative diseases of ocular and ocular adnexal structures are either primary, when they arise in the eye, orbit, lacrimal gland, eyelid, and/or conjunctiva, or secondary extranodal manifestation of systemic lymphoma. Diagnosis is challenging and requires a multidisciplinary approach involving ophthalmologists, dermatologists, oncologists, and radiation oncologists.

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
Extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (ENMZL) of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), a rare subtype of B-cell lymphoma, is typically associated with Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) infection, especially in gastric cases. However, this article presents 2 unique cases of H pylori-negative colonic ENMZL, challenging the conventional understanding of the disease. The first case involves an 80-year-old male diagnosed with Stage 1E ENMZL in the descending colon, and the second describes a 74-year-old male with sigmoid colon ENMZL. Both cases lacked H pylori infection, adding complexity to their management. Accompanying these case studies is a comprehensive literature review, delving into the epidemiology, pathology, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of H pylori-negative ENMZL, with a focus on gastrointestinal involvement. This review highlights the importance of considering H pylori-negative cases in ENMZL diagnosis and management, illustrating the need for further research and individualized treatment approaches in this uncommon lymphoma subtype.

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.

Lee JH, Yun J. Diffuse Large B-Cell lymphoma Misdiagnosed as a Hematoma: Case Report. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:1775. [PMID: 37893492 PMCID: PMC10608036 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59101775] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 09/28/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023]
Abstract
Background: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, often presents diagnostic challenges due to its diverse clinical presentation. We present a case of DLBCL that was initially misdiagnosed as a hematoma, highlighting the importance of considering malignancy when faced with unresponsive soft tissue swelling. Methods: A 76-year-old man presented to the emergency department with right periorbital swelling and ecchymosis following a traumatic injury. Despite ongoing anticoagulant therapy (warfarin) for atrial fibrillation, the symptoms persisted. A CT scan of the facial bones revealed a large, irregular, homogeneous mass. Initially, the clinical history and radiologic findings suggested an extraconal hematoma. As a result, an incision and drainage procedure was performed, and the old blood was evacuated. However, the patient's symptoms continued to worsen. A follow-up CT scan showed enlargement of the lesion, prompting a surgical excisional biopsy. Results: Pathologic examination of the excised mass revealed a diffuse infiltrate of lymphocytes surrounding the tissue, confirming the diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The patient was subsequently referred to hematology for further management. Conclusions: Although rare, DLBCL is associated with a challenging prognosis. This case highlights the diagnostic complexities that can arise, particularly when factors such as prior injury and anticoagulant therapy confound the clinical picture. The initial misclassification of the condition as a hematoma led to a delay in diagnosis and the subsequent initiation of treatment. Therefore, it is imperative to remain vigilant and consider malignancy as a potential underlying cause of unresponsive soft tissue swelling. Timely recognition and accurate diagnosis are paramount to improving patient outcomes in DLBCL, an aggressive lymphoma with a diverse clinical presentation.

Ann Hematol 2023; 102:2413-2423.

Abstract
Ocular adnexal extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (OA-EMZL) is the most frequent subtype of ocular adnexal lymphoma, with a high propensity for recurrence. Distant recurrence (DR) as an essential prognostic event has unique clinical risk factors, but whether distinct molecular features exist remains poorly understood. Here, we identified potential biomarkers using proteomic analysis of 27 OA-EMZL samples. The MYC-targeted genes PCNA, MCM6, and MCM4 were identified as candidates. MYC-targeted genes were further identified as the most significantly activated gene set in patients with DR. The candidate genes were verified in samples from 11 patients with DR and 33 matched controls using immunohistochemistry. The 3-year and 5-year AUC values of MCM6 (0.699 and 0.757) were higher than those of Ki-67 (0.532 and 0.592). High expressions of MCM6 and MCM4 were significantly associated with shorter distant recurrence-free survival (Log-rank p = 0.017, Log-rank p = 0.0053). Multivariate Cox regression identified MCM6 expression as an independent risk factor for DR (HR, 6.86; 95% CI, 1.32-35.79; P = 0.02). Knockdown of c-Myc in B cells resulted in decreased MCM6 and MCM4 expression and reduced proliferative capacity. Our results suggest that activation of the MYC-targeted gene is a distinct molecular feature of DR in OA-EMZL. MYC-targeted gene, MCM6, is a promising pathological biomarker for DR.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the disease characteristics and survival of patients with ocular adnexal T-cell lymphoma. METHODS A retrospective, observational study of patients with a histopathological diagnosis of T-cell lymphoma of the ocular adnexa seen between 1992 and 2022. Demographic data, clinical presentation, imaging, histology, immunohistochemistry, treatment, and outcomes were reviewed. RESULTS Fifteen patients were included in the study with the mean age at diagnosis of 50 years old (range 7-85). The most common presenting symptoms were ulcerated eyelid skin lesions (40%) followed by eyelid swelling (13.3%), and lacrimal passageways obstruction (13.3%). The anaplastic large cell lymphoma (33%) and primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (33%) were the most diagnosed peripheral T-cell lymphoma subtypes, followed by the nasal type natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (27%) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (7%). The most prevalent stage of disease progression was stage I and stage IV (Ann Arbor classification) with seven (47%) patients each. Eight (53%) patients succumbed to the disease process of which three (37.5%) deceased in the first six months and six (75%) within the first year of diagnosis. We identified a strong statistical association between stage and disease-related death ( p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS Peripheral T-cell lymphoma occurring in the orbit and ocular adnexa is extremely rare. Advanced stage at diagnosis leads to almost certain death from the disease despite aggressive local and systemic treatment. Early diagnosis improves the chances of survival but can be hindered by this condition's ability to simulate benign inflammatory conditions both clinically and histologically.

Abstract
Caruncle malignancy is rare, but signs of disease can be easily missed by both patients and clinicians. There is significant potential for significant morbidity and even mortality from delayed diagnosis and treatment. Clinical features of primary malignant cancer include rapid growth, pigment deposition, ulcerated surface and bleeding. Malignant diagnoses include lymphoproliferative disease, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, sebaceous carcinoma and malignant melanoma. Increased pigmentation is associated with melanoma, yellow coloured deposition with sebaceous carcinoma and a salmon-pink hue with lymphoproliferative disease. Treatment involves excision with margin control which may necessitate exenteration. Metastases to cervical and preauricular lymph nodes has been reported.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Orbital lymphoma is one of the most common adult orbital malignancies, accounting for approximately 10% of all orbital tumors. This study aimed to analyze the effects of surgical resection and orbital iodine-125 brachytherapy implantation for orbital lymphoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study. Clinical data of 10 patients were collected from October 2016 to November 2018 and followed up to March 2022. Patients underwent the primary surgery for maximal safe removal of the tumor. After a pathologic diagnosis of a primary orbital lymphoma was established, iodine-125 seed tubes were designed based on the tumor size and invasion range, and direct vision was placed into the nasolacrimal canal or/and under the orbital periosteum around the resection cavity during the secondary surgery. Then, follow-up data, including the general situation, ocular condition, and tumor recurrence, were recorded. RESULTS Of the 10 patients, the pathologic diagnoses included extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (6 cases), small lymphocytic lymphoma (1 case), mantle cell lymphoma (2 cases), and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (1 case). The number of seeds implanted ranged from 16 to 40. The follow-up period ranged between 40 and 65 months. All patients in this study were alive and well had tumors that were completely controlled. No tumor recurrences or metastases occurred. Three patients had dry eye syndrome and two patients had abnormal facial sensation. No patient had radiodermatitis involving the skin around the eye, and no patient had radiation-related ophthalmopathy. CONCLUSIONS Based on preliminary observations, iodine-125 brachytherapy implantation appeared to be a reasonable alternative to external irradiation for orbital lymphoma.

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 Mantle cell lymphomas (MCL) represent a rare subclass of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma affecting the lacrimal gland (GL). AIM To extensively describe the immunohistochemical profile of GL-MCL. MATERIAL UND METHODS Single center, retrospective electronic records review of 3 patients with biopsy proven LG-MCL. RESULTS The herein presented case series of three patients comprises a focal case involving solely the lacrimal gland, a symptomatic LG-MCL manifesting as the first sign of a systemic disease as well as a case of LG-MCL presenting as a relapsed systemic lymphoma. The three patients presented positive CD19 and CD20, negative CD10 and CD23. One patient showed an uncommon negativity for CD5. The increased expression of cyclin D1 caused by the classical translocation t(11;14) (q13;q32) in the fluorescence-in-situ-hybridisation were observed in all cases. B-cell-lymphoma-2 protein (BCL-2) and transcription factor SOX-11 (SOX-11) were also overexpressed. DISCUSSION LG-MCL show an immunohistochemical profile corresponding to the classical profile of MCL. Overexpression of molecules for target therapies was found in all cases (CD20 for rituximab, BCL2 for Bruton-kinase-inhibitors and CD19 for CAR-T cell therapy). The removal of the GL can potentially drive to severe complications, even if aimed to confirm diagnosis. Therefore, the choice between GL-biopsy and exstirpation should be carefully evaluated, especially in cases of suspected lymphoma.

Abstract
PURPOSE This single-arm, prospective, exploratory study investigated the effectiveness of ultra-low-dose radiotherapy in the treatment of ocular adnexal lymphoma (OAL). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with pathologically confirmed ocular adnexal low-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma (predominantly mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, MALT or follicular lymphoma) were included and treated with ultra-low-dose radiotherapy consisting of 2 successive fractions of 2 Gy at our institution between 2019 and 2021. Disease response was assessed clinically and radiographically within 4 months and at 3 to 6-month intervals after treatment. Data collected included rates of overall response, complete response (CR), partial response (PR), lesion size, and acute/chronic ocular toxic effects. RESULTS Sixteen patients with median age of 63 years (range 23-86 years) were included in the study. The histological subtypes included MALT (11 patients; 69%); follicular lymphoma (2 patients; 12%); Lymphoid hyperplasia (3 patient, 19%). At a median follow-up time of 15.5 months (range 5.0-30.0 months), the overall response rate was 88%, with a CR rate of 75% (n = 12) and a PR rate of 13% (n = 2). The average lesion area was reduced from 117.9 ± 60.4 mm2 before radiation therapy to 38.7 ± 46.0mm2 at initial evaluation post radiation therapy (P = 0.002, n = 16), and to 8.5 ± 21.2 mm2 (P < 0.001 compared with postoperative lesion area) in patients with response at one year (n = 11). Disease progression was noted in 2 patients (12%). The 1-year rates of local progression-free survivals (LPFS) and overall survival (OS) were 85% and 100%, respectively. No distant relapses were observed in any of the patients. No acute or late toxic effects were noted. CONCLUSION Ultra-low-dose radiotherapy in patients with OAL is associated with excellent local disease control and long-term survival with no significant acute or late toxicities.

Isolated lateral rectus muscle large B cell lymphoma: A rare case report and review of the literature. Am J Ophthalmol Case Rep 2022; 28:101736. [PMID: 36324630 PMCID: PMC9619291 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajoc.2022.101736] [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: 07/12/2022] [Revised: 10/05/2022] [Accepted: 10/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose To report a 65-year-old male patient with primary lateral rectus large B cell lymphoma. Observations The patient had been referred because of progressive proptosis and limitation of ductions, especially abduction (ortho position at primary gaze) and conjunctival injection. Computerized tomography of the orbit and paranasal sinuses depicted a massive lateral rectus muscle enlargement without any other orbital involvement. Lateral orbitotomy and lateral rectus belly incisional biopsy was done, and histopathologic and immunohistochemical staining and systemic evaluations revealed the diagnosis of primary orbital large B-cell lymphoma. Conclusions and importance This case indicated that, though rare, extraocular muscle enlargement could be the main finding of primary orbital lymphoma. Large B-cell lymphoma could involve only the orbital tissues, although it is more prevalent with systemic involvement.

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
Background Ocular mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma involving orbit and conjunctiva usually has an indolent clinical course with “salmon patch” mass as typical presentation. This study is to report a series of rare cases and investigate the clinical and pathological features of ocular MALT lymphoma that involved uveal tissue primarily and presented as posterior scleritis. Methods This retrospective, observational study was conducted at Beijing Tongren Hospital. From 2018 to 2020, 3 cases of 3 eyes (2 female patients and 1 male patient) with ocular MALT lymphoma that involved uveal tissue primarily and presented as posterior scleritis were included in the study. All patients had complaints of red eyes with blurred vision. The average age was 56.33 ± 2.08 years old and the average time from initial diagnosis to pathological diagnosis was 3.00 ± 1.73 months. Ophthalmic examinations including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), slit lamp microscope examinations, fundus photography, B-scan ultrasonography, ultrasound biomicroscope (UBM), optical coherence tomography (OCT), fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) were conducted. Systemic workups including orbital magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) and blood autoimmune antibody tests were also conducted. Pathological tissue from patients were obtained through surgeries. Biopsy examinations were performed to accurately determine pathological diagnosis. All the information of clinical, imaging and pathological changes were collected and analyzed. Results At the initial diagnosis, the BCVA of involved eyes decreased seriously while the IOP were normal. All involved eyeball showed extensive hyperemia and local thickening in the wall of eyeballs. B-scan ultrasonography showed mass with abundant blood and irregular cysts inside the eyeball wall and in the retrobulbar orbit, surrounding the ocular wall and optic nerve. UBM showed solid lesions with low and medium echo under the conjunctiva and inside the ciliary body of 2 cases. OCT showed posterior polar wavy rise of RPE and local neuroepithelial detachment in all cases. FFA and ICGA showed vascular abnormalities (patch-like strong fluorescence and fluorescence leakage) and local thickening in retina and choroid (Rectangle-like weak fluorescence below the macula). The posterior wall of the eyeball was thickened and enhanced in MRI. PET-CT also showed thickening of posterior wall of eyeballs and increased metabolic activity but there was no sign of autoimmune disease. All patients were diagnosed as MALT lymphoma through pathologic examinations of biopsy tissue. Conclusions The onset of primary ocular MALT lymphoma in uvea is hidden. The early clinical manifestations are lack of specificity and misleading. B-scan ultrasonography has characteristic manifestations and is valuable in diagnosis. However, pathological diagnosis through tissue biopsy is irreplaceable. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s12886-022-02598-2.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinicopathological features and flow cytometry (FCM) of tumor tissues in ocular adnexal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). METHODS This retrospective, multicenter case study was designed to evaluate the clinical and immunohistochemical features of tumors. DLBCL was diagnosed based on histopathology, immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chain gene rearrangement, and FCM in all surgically removed periocular tumor tissues. This study involved assessing percentages (%) of B-cell/T-cell markers, a natural killer cell marker, and cell-surface Ig kappa/lambda (κ/λ) expression measured by FCM analysis in tumor tissues. RESULTS Eleven DLBCL patients (4 men and 7 women) with 11 tumors were enrolled in this study. The median age at the time of initial presentation was 73 years. The tumor cells were immunohistochemically positive for cluster of differentiation (CD) 20, while CD5 was negative in all 8 cases tested. At the time of ophthalmic diagnosis, two cases already showed systemic dissemination of DLBCL throughout the body. FCM of tumor tissues detected a high percentage of B-cell markers including CD19 and CD20 in all 11 tumors. One case with high CD10 levels in FCM was histologic transformation from follicular lymphoma. One case with a relatively low CD20 population involved a history of systemic treatments including intravenous rituximab. CONCLUSION Although caution should be exercised when interpreting the data, FCM is useful for not only supportive diagnosis complementary to immunohistochemistry, but also facilitates a better understanding of immunopathology including histologic transformation of follicular lymphoma to DLBCL in the ocular adnexa.

Abstract
Lymphoma of the conjunctiva is an ocular malignancy derived from clonal proliferation of lymphocytes. The majority of conjunctival lymphoma is extranodal marginal zone B-Cell lymphoma (EMZL), however diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL), follicular (FL), mantle cell (MCL) and T- cell subtypes are also seen. Clinical manifestations are non-specific, but include unilateral or bilateral painless salmon-pink conjunctival lesions. Approaches to treatment have centered around local immunomodulation, often with Interferon-α2b or Rituximab (anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody) with or without radiation. Although conjunctival lymphoma is generally considered an indolent disease, recent advances in next-generation sequencing have improved clinicians' ability to predict future recurrence or systemic disease through assessment of cytogenic and molecular features. In this paper, we review the classification, clinical features, diagnostic techniques, and emerging strategies for management and prognostication of conjunctival lymphomas.

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.

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.

A deep learning model combining multimodal radiomics, clinical and imaging features for differentiating ocular adnexal lymphoma from idiopathic orbital inflammation. Eur Radiol 2022; 32:6922-6932. [PMID: 35674824 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-022-08857-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2021] [Revised: 04/10/2022] [Accepted: 05/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/04/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the value of deep learning (DL) combining multimodal radiomics and clinical and imaging features for differentiating ocular adnexal lymphoma (OAL) from idiopathic orbital inflammation (IOI). METHODS Eighty-nine patients with histopathologically confirmed OAL (n = 39) and IOI (n = 50) were divided into training and validation groups. Convolutional neural networks and multimodal fusion layers were used to extract multimodal radiomics features from the T1-weighted image (T1WI), T2-weighted image, and contrast-enhanced T1WI. These multimodal radiomics features were then combined with clinical and imaging features and used together to differentiate between OAL and IOI. The area under the curve (AUC) was used to evaluate DL models with different features under five-fold cross-validation. The Student t-test, chi-squared, or Fisher exact test was used for comparison of different groups. RESULTS In the validation group, the diagnostic AUC of the DL model using combined features was 0.953 (95% CI, 0.895-1.000), higher than that of the DL model using multimodal radiomics features (0.843, 95% CI, 0.786-0.898, p < 0.01) or clinical and imaging features only (0.882, 95% CI, 0.782-0.982, p = 0.13). The DL model built on multimodal radiomics features outperformed those built on most bimodalities and unimodalities (p < 0.05). In addition, the DL-based analysis with the orbital cone area (covering both the orbital mass and surrounding tissues) was superior to that with the region of interest (ROI) covering only the mass area, although the difference was not significant (p = 0.33). CONCLUSIONS DL-based analysis that combines multimodal radiomics features with clinical and imaging features may help to differentiate between OAL and IOI. KEY POINTS • It is difficult to differentiate OAL from IOI due to the overlap in clinical and imaging manifestations. • Radiomics has shown potential for noninvasive diagnosis of different orbital lymphoproliferative disorders. • DL-based analysis combining radiomics and imaging and clinical features may help the differentiation between OAL and IOI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies on the epidemiology and prognosis of primary ocular adnexal lymphoma (POAL) are scarce for its low occurrence. The goal of our research was to assess the epidemiologic characteristics, prognostic variables and survival of POAL patients. METHODS The Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database was used to collect data on patients identified with POAL from 1975 to 2011 and the incidence rate of POAL from 1975 to 2017. To discover independent predictive markers for overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS), multivariable Cox regression analysis was utilised. The independent prognostic factors found by multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to generate a nomogram. RESULTS A total of 2839 patients were diagnosed with POAL, with an average age of 64.1 years. The total incidence of POAL was 2.51/1000000 (according to the overall adjustment of the 2000 American standard) from 1975 to 2017, and the annual percentage change (APC) was 2.47 (95% confidence interval 1.64-3.32, p < 0.05), showing a sharp upward trend. After multivariate Cox regression analysis, age, gender, year of diagnosis, marital status, primary site, laterality, pathological type and treatment strategy were evaluated as independent prognostic factors of OS or DSS (p < 0.05). A nomogram was constructed to forecast the DSS of 1, 3, 5 and 10 years. The concordance index (C-index) and the calibration plots demonstrated the robustness and accuracy of the nomogram. CONCLUSIONS Although POAL is sporadic, the incidence has generally increased in the past 36 years. In recent years, survival rates have risen, and radiotherapy can render better OS and DSS. The nomogram specially made for POAL is robust and precise in predicting the DSS of 1, 3, 5 and 10 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND N-isopropyl- (123I) p-iodoamphetamine (123I-IMP) is specifically accumulated in primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) during single-photon emission tomography (SPECT) and contributes to its diagnostic imaging. However, whether 123I-IMP is accumulated in ocular adnexal lymphoma (OAL), one of the malignant intraorbital tumors, remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of 123I-IMP SPECT in OAL. METHODS Between August 2005 and June 2020, 26 patients with intraorbital tumors underwent neurosurgery at the tertiary care center. Of these, 15 patients who underwent 123I-IMPSPECT before surgery were retrospectively examined. The region of interest was set in the cerebellum ipsilateral to the intraorbital tumor on 123I-IMP SPECT, and the tumor-to-cerebellum ratio (T/C ratio) was calculated using the following formula: T/C ratio = [accumulation of tumor (count/pixel)]/[accumulation of ipsilateral normal cerebellar hemisphere (count/pixel)]. RESULTS Six patients were included in the OAL group, who were pathologically diagnosed with extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and plasmacytoma. The T/C ratio in the OAL group was statistically higher than that in the non-OAL group (p < 0.01). The optimal cutoff values for both groups were between 0.76 and < 0.93. The sensitivity and specificity were 1.00, respectively. CONCLUSIONS 123I-IMP SPECT is useful as one of the examinations in the differential diagnoses of OAL, because it showed a significantly higher accumulation in OAL group than in non-OAL group.

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
PURPOSE To describe the frequency, clinical features, and histologic subtypes of biopsy proven lacrimal sac lymphomas, and to compare these results to the previously published literature. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed at a single institution from 2004 to 2017. Pathology reports, operative notes, and patients' medical charts were reviewed. RESULTS Of 566 lacrimal sacs submitted for routine histopathologic evaluation, 16 cases of lymphoma were identified. All were low-grade, non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphomas, biopsied at an average age of 71 years. Thirteen patients (81.25%) had a pre-existing lymphoma diagnosis; the average interval between the diagnosis of systemic or nonocular adnexal lymphoma and lacrimal sac lymphoma was 7.9 years (range 2-26 years; median 5.5 years). Three cases of primary lacrimal sac lymphoma were identified. Histopathology showed 3 cases (18.75%) of follicular lymphoma, 3 (18.75%) of extranodal marginal zone lymphoma, and 10 (62.5%) of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma. Primary cases presented with epiphora and nasolacrimal duct obstruction, while secondary cases predominantly manifested as dacryocystitis. All lacrimal sac neoplasms were locally responsive (without local recurrence) to chemotherapy, radiation, or both. CONCLUSIONS Lacrimal sac lymphoma is uncommon but should be suspected among patients with known lymphoma who develop dacryocystitis. In this series, primary lacrimal sac lymphoma most often presented as a mass or nasolacrimal duct obstruction. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma was the most commonly identified cause of secondary lacrimal sac lymphoma. Distinguishing primary from secondary lacrimal sac lymphomas is important, as the extent of disease and histopathologic subtypes differ, which may affect patient management.

Abstract
Primary splenic lymphoma (PSL) is a rare malignancy representing about 1% of all lymphoproliferative disorders, when using a strict definition that allows only involvement of spleen and hilar lymph nodes. In contrast, secondary low-grade B-cell lymphomas in the spleen, such as follicular lymphomas (FL), lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia/ small lymphocytic lymphoma, particularly as part of advanced stage disease, are more common. Indolent B cell lymphomas expressing CD10 almost always represent FL, which in its primary splenic form is the focus of this review. Primary splenic follicular lymphoma (PSFL) is exceedingly infrequent. This type of lymphoproliferative disorder is understudied and, in most cases, clinically characterized by splenomegaly or cytopenias related to hypersplenism. The diagnosis requires correlation of histopathology of spleen, blood and/or bone marrow with the correct immunophenotype (determined by flow cytometry and/or immunohistochemistry) and if necessary, additional molecular profiling. Management of this incurable disease is evolving, and splenectomy remains the mainstream treatment for stage I PSFL.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the clinical features and outcomes of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) involving the eye and ocular adnexa in an East Asian population and emphasize the importance of prompt biopsy and treatment in unusually progressive ocular adnexal DLBCL for better visual outcomes. METHODS Retrospective case series of 38 patients diagnosed with DLBCL involving the eye and ocular adnexa between 1995 and 2018 at a single tertiary institution. RESULTS There were 38 patients (22 men, 16 women), 22 (57.9%) of which had ocular adnexal lymphoma (OAL) and 16 (42.1%), vitreoretinal lymphoma (VRL). The OAL group showed higher rates of unilateral involvement (p = 0.01) and localized disease presentation (p = 0.01). Thirteen (59.1%) of 22 OAL patients were primary diseases and 9 (40.9%) were secondary. Between primary and secondary OAL groups, there was no statistical difference in clinical characteristics such as age, gender and laterality (p = 0.47, p = 0.19 and p = 0.66, respectively). All secondary OAL cases were either disseminated or relapsed by definition and only two cases (15%) of primary OAL showed disseminated presentation (p < 0.01). Six (37.3%) of 22 OAL patients showed a rapid decrease in visual acuity within 15 days and the visual recovery was irreversible in 3 of them. CONCLUSION OA-DLBCL has a grave prognosis and its visual outcomes largely depend on the timing of diagnosis and treatment. When a high-grade lymphoma is suspected, prompt biopsy and treatment should be performed to ensure optimal visual, clinical and survival outcomes.

[PMID: 34707410 PMCID: PMC8544123 DOI: 10.2147/cmar.s334396] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2021] [Accepted: 10/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Lymphomas of the orbit and ocular adnexa are histologically heterogeneous and their incidence rate has been increasing lately. However, because of their rarity and diversity, few cases have been analyzed. This study evaluated patients with orbital and ocular adnexal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (OAMALT), who received radiotherapy, and categorized their clinical characteristics, treatment outcomes, and complications. Patients and Methods We collected data on clinical presentation, age, sex, imaging, tumor location, treatment methods, pathological diagnosis, cataract incidence, cataract incidence periods, overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS) from 32 patients with orbital involvement and pathologically confirmed marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of MALT who were treated between 2009 and 2018. Twenty-two patients received 20 Gy/10 Fr using intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plus 14 Gy/7 Fr using a 6–14-MeV electron beam therapy using a lens-sparing approach. Ten patients received 32 Gy/16 Fr or 34 Gy/17 Fr using IMRT without the lens shield technique. Kaplan–Meier analysis was used to estimate DFS and OS. Results The median follow-up time was 83.4 ± 24.5 months. No patient had local recurrence, although three patients developed distant metastases. The 5-year and 10-year OS rates were both 100%. The 5-year and 10-year DFS rates were 96.7% and 74.2%, respectively. Overall, 11 (32.4%) of the 34 lenses developed cataracts. The estimated 5-year, 7-year, and 10-year cumulative cataract rates were 6.9%, 30.9%, and 60.8%, respectively. The median cumulative cataract incidence period was 107.0 months. Age was the only significant parameter associated with cataract formation. Conclusion A radiation dose of 32–34 Gy yields excellent local control, DFS, and OS for OAMALT. Some patients may have systemic relapse, and better identification of these patients is necessary. Reducing the prescription radiation dose or using better radiation techniques to spare the ipsilateral lens could reduce cataract formation.

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
PURPOSE Flow cytometry (FCM) is used to evaluate cell surface markers of various leukocyte populations quantitatively. However, little is known about the usefulness of FCM in follicular lymphoma (FL) of the ocular adnexa. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinicopathological features and FCM results in ocular adnexal FL. MATERIALS This is a retrospective multicenter case study on clinical and immunohistochemical features. All tumors, surgically excised, were diagnosed based on histopathology, immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangement, and FCM. The percentages (%) of B-cell markers, T-cell markers, a natural killer cell marker, and cell surface kappa/lambda measured by FCM analysis in tumor tissues were searched based on medical records. RESULTS This study enrolled nine tumors in eight FL patients (three men and five women). The median age at the time of initial presentation was 74 years. All the tumors surgically excised histologically exhibited cluster of differentiation (CD)10, CD20, and BCL2-positive cells. At the time of ophthalmic diagnosis, lymphomas were already disseminated throughout the body in five cases. FCM demonstrated high percentage of B-cell markers including CD10, CD19, CD20, and CD23 in all nine tumors. CD10 population was 73.5% ± 11.9% in seven out of nine tumors, while that in the other two tumors was particularly low being 11.7% ± 1.13%, which showed the relatively high T-cell lineages compared to the other seven tumors. CONCLUSION For ophthalmologists involving managements of ocular adnexal tumors, FCM can provide useful information for complementing the diagnosis and understanding pathophysiology of FL.

Abstract
Recent improvements in chemoimmunotherapies, targeted agents, hematopoietic stem cell transplants, and cellular therapies have revolutionized treatment paradigms for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Even in the relapsed or refractory setting, contemporary treatment options are delivered with curative intent and can lead to lasting remissions. Although such therapies have improved overall outcomes, they have increasingly led to a wide variety of presentations of recurrent tumors in need of palliation. Here, we review the use of radiotherapy (RT) in the palliation of DLBCL. We draw particular attention to the evolving role for hypofractionated RT and low-dose RT for DLBCL. We review the available literature on these topics and focus on commonly encountered clinical scenarios.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe a patient with orbital adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) and to review the literature on presentation, diagnostics, management, and clinical course of this rare disease. METHODS A systematic literature review. PubMed/MEDLINE and Google Scholar databases were searched for all well-documented cases of orbital/ocular adnexal ATLL. RESULTS Sixteen patients were included in the final analysis. The median age at diagnosis was 47 years (range, 20-85), 9/16 patients (56%) were male, and patients were of Japanese (10/16, 63%), Caribbean (5/16, 31%), or African (1/16, 6%) origin. Proptosis (6/15, 40%) and visual loss (5/15, 33%) were the most common presenting signs. Involvement of adjacent structures was documented in 8 of 16 (50%) patients. All patients had evidence of systemic ATLL, which was identified concurrently with orbital/ocular adnexal disease in 9 of 15 (60%) patients. Management included multi-agent chemotherapy with steroids (9/13, 69%), antivirals (2/13, 15%), biologic agents (4/13, 31%), and umbilical cord blood transplantation (1/13, 8%). Most patients (8/12, 67%) experienced at least partial remission with disease relapse occurring in 6 of 8 patients (75%). The median survival time was 28 months (95% CI, 5.5-50.5 months). CONCLUSIONS Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of orbital and ocular adnexal space-occupying lesions, particularly in male patients from endemic regions. Orbital disease is frequently locally aggressive and presents concurrently with systemic ATLL, highlighting the importance of comprehensive multimodal work-up and multidisciplinary management. Emerging targeted therapies and hematopoietic stem cell transplant may prolong survival.

Abstract
This article provides an overview of rare orbital diseases. Congenital
malformations, inflammatory diseases, benign and malignant neoplasias are
described. Although it represents a relatively small area of the body the
orbit contains multiple different tissues. Therefore, a great variety of
diseases can be found within the orbital space. That is the reason, why both
the completeness and the level of detail in the description of particular
diseases must be somewhat limited. Nevertheless, clinical manifestations,
important aspects of diagnosis, treatment strategies, and, when specific
data are available, the prognosis are described. The authors tried to
highlight the most characteristic aspects of the different diseases to
describe their relevant aspects in spite of the brevity of the
subsections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although studies have investigated the risk of second primary malignancies (SPMs) associated with lymphoma of various sites, limited studies have investigated this risk in patients with lymphoma originating within the ocular adnexa. We conducted a retrospective study to assess incidence of secondary malignancies in patients with a prior diagnosis of ocular adnexal lymphoma (OAL) and to determine latency periods and age-groups at increased risk for SPM occurrence. METHODS Retrospective analysis was performed on data obtained from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) 9 database. Patients with an initial primary malignancy diagnosis of OAL between 1973 and 2015 were included in the study. Standardized incidence ratios (SIR) and excess absolute risks (EAR) compared to a SEER reference population with similar sex, race, age, and calendar year were computed for SPMs. Excess absolute risk is per 10,000 individuals; alpha of 0.05 was used. RESULTS Of 1834 patients with primary ocular adnexal lymphoma, 279 developed a secondary malignancy during average follow-up of 110.03 months (+/- 88.46), denoting higher incidence than expected (SIR 1.20; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.35; EAR 30.56). Amongst the primary lymphoma cohort, 98.7% (1810/1834) of patients had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and amongst those that developed secondary malignancies, 99.6% (278/279) had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Patients exhibited increased incidence of lymphohematopoietic and non-lymphohematopoietic second malignancies and no secondary malignancies of the eye or orbit. Patients had increased incidence of secondary malignancies in the first year (SIR 2.07; 95% CI, 1.49 to 2.79; EAR 150.37) and 1-5 years following lymphoma diagnosis (SIR 1.24; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.51; EAR 34.89). Patients with various OAL subtypes demonstrated differing patterns of site-specific and overall SPM risk. CONCLUSIONS Patients with prior diagnosis of ocular adnexal lymphoma possess increased risk of hematologic and non-hematologic secondary malignancies. Risk of secondary malignancy could vary by lymphoma subtype. Patients with ocular adnexal lymphoma may benefit from regular surveillance to promote early detection of second primary malignancies.

Abstract
PURPOSE: To characterize demographic, clinical, and histopathologic features of ocular adnexal lymphoma (OAL) at a single institution. METHODS: Retrospective review of all patients with pathologic diagnosis of OAL between 2015 and 2020. RESULTS: There were 133 patients with OAL, with a median age of 65 years (range 23–97) and a slight female predominance (male: female = 1:1.46), (n = 79, 59%). The majority of tumors were non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphomas (n = 131, 99%), most frequently Extranodal Marginal Zone B-Cell Lymphoma (EMZL, n = 93, 70%), followed by follicular lymphoma (n = 21, 16%), chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (n = 7, 5%), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (n = 5, 4%), and mantle cell lymphoma (n = 5, 4%). The most frequently involved sites included the orbit (n = 85, 64%) and conjunctiva (n = 43, 32%). Information was available on oncologic staging in 78 (59%), treatment in 82 (62%), and follow-up in 75 (56%) patients. By the Ann-Arbor classification system, patients were classified as IE (54/78, 69%), IIE (9/78, 12%), IIIE (6/78, 8%), and IVE (9/78, 12%). The most common treatments included external beam radiotherapy (standard and ultra-low-dose) (48/82, 59%), biologics (22/82, 27%), and surgical excision with cryotherapy (14/82, 17%) (some patients had >1 therapy). Median follow-up time was 24 months (range 0–221 months). Recurrence was observed in 13% (10/75) with a median time to recurrence of 60 months (95% confidence interval 47–73 months). Excision with cryotherapy as a sole treatment modality was associated with earlier recurrence (P = 0.003). CONCLUSION: In this largest single-center study of OAL, we found that most OAL were Ann-Arbor Stage IE EMZL, occurring in older patients with a female predominance. Early recurrence was noted in tumors treated with excision and cryotherapy alone.

Abstract
Amyloidosis is a protein metabolism disorder characterised by extracellular deposition of insoluble amorphous hyaline material. Orbital and ocular amyloid lesions account for only 4% of localised disease affecting the head and neck. Ocular adnexal lymphoma accounts for 1-2% of lymphoma, with lacrimal gland lymphomas being relatively uncommon. The most common form affecting the orbit is extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL) of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma). We report an extremely rare case of co-existent EMZL and amyloidosis of the lacrimal gland. Initial biopsy of the right lacrimal gland confirmed an EMZL with amyloid deposit, and a course of radiotherapy treatment was given. Recurrent lacrimal gland swelling developed within a year. Subsequent biopsy identified amyloidosis with scanty lymphoid tissue. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of localised lacrimal gland amyloidosis of uncertain type with previous EMZL; the association described in this case report is not yet fully understood.
