ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
We report six cases of histologically diagnosed conjunctival MALT (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue)oma. Presenting symptoms were eyelid swelling, foreign body sensation, lid mass, injection and itching sensation. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
Six patients with conjunctival MALToma were followed. Clinical progress and biopsy result were reviewed periodically.RESULTS:
The conjunctival MALToma seemed to be localized and slowly progressive. Although the conjunctival MALToma is known to be well responsive to radiotherapy, two of three patients who received radiotherapy revealed to have remnant lymphoma cells histologically in conjunctival biopsy. In addition, chemotherapy did not have curative effect in any of the patients.CONCLUSIONS:
Therefore, we are doubtful for the necessity of active treatment in MALTomas of the conjunctiva.
