Summary

Orbital MALT lymphomas, slow-growing B-cell tumors, require consideration in orbital tumor diagnosis. Histopathological analysis is crucial for identification and guiding treatment options for these extranodal lymphomas.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Extranodal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas are slow-growing B-cell tumors.
  • These lymphomas can occur in the orbit, often associated with epithelial structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a series of patients with biopsy-confirmed orbital MALT lymphomas.
  • To describe diagnostic imaging, histopathological, and immunohistological findings.
  • To discuss the implications for diagnosis and treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of eight patients with biopsy-proven orbital MALT lymphomas.
  • Detailed description of diagnostic imaging techniques used (ultrasonography, MRI).
  • Histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis to confirm MALT lymphoma characteristics.

Main Results:

  • Six patients underwent radiation therapy after staging.
  • Two patients declined treatment due to asymptomatic presentation.
  • Typical histopathological and immunohistochemical findings consistent with MALT lymphomas were observed.

Conclusions:

  • Orbital MALT lymphomas are an important differential diagnosis for orbital tumors.
  • Imaging (ultrasonography, MRI) aids in assessing tumor extent.
  • Definitive diagnosis relies on biopsy and histological/immunohistochemical analysis, especially with evolving treatments.
