This study details the first reported recurrence of conjunctival lymphoma in the psoas muscle after radiotherapy. Long-term follow-up is crucial for patients with ocular adnexal MALToma.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Ocular adnexal lymphomas, specifically mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALToma), are typically localized tumors.
  • Radiotherapy is a common and effective initial treatment for these lymphomas.

Observation:

  • A patient treated for conjunctival MALToma experienced a recurrence 18 months post-radiotherapy.
  • The recurrence was identified in the psoas muscle, a highly unusual site.

Findings:

  • Systemic investigations confirmed MALToma recurrence in both the psoas muscle and the stomach.
  • This represents the first documented case of MALToma recurrence in the psoas muscle.

Implications:

  • The findings highlight that ocular adnexal MALTomas can recur in extranodal sites.

  • Indefinite long-term patient follow-up is essential for early detection of potential recurrences.
