Summary
Periocular lymphomas, common in adults, present with varied symptoms. Diagnosis involves imaging and biopsy, with treatment tailored by a tumor board using radiation, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Oncology
- Hematology
Background:
- Lymphomas frequently affect the periocular region, primarily in adults.
- These malignant tumors exhibit diverse clinical presentations.
Purpose of the Study:
- To offer a comprehensive overview of periocular lymphomas.
- Detailing symptoms, diagnostic methods, and treatment strategies.
Main Methods:
- Diagnosis relies on detailed patient history, contrast-enhanced MRI, and histopathological examination.
- Staging is crucial to identify potential systemic involvement.
- Treatment planning involves an interdisciplinary tumor board.
Main Results:
- Symptoms are often nonspecific, characterized by slow, painless growth.
- A salmon-colored conjunctival swelling is a typical sign.
- Treatment modalities include stereotactic radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy.
Conclusions:
- Early and accurate diagnosis of periocular lymphomas is essential.
- Multidisciplinary collaboration ensures optimal patient management.
- Personalized treatment plans improve outcomes for these ocular malignancies.
