Lymphomatoid Granulomatosis With Ocular Involvement

Conjunctival Involvement in Lymphomatoid Granulomatosis

“…Tse et al [3] reported a 29-year-old South American male with lymphomatoid granulomatosis who developed bilateral peripheral retinal vasculitis and uveitis. A random biopsy of the conjunctiva in the absence of clinical con junctival lesions revealed chronic mononu clear cells in the stroma.…”

“…Most occular manifestations have rcsulted from cranial nerve involvement [2]. and uveitis and retinal vasculitis have been de scribed [3,4]. We present herein a patient who, in addition to systemic manifestations of lymphomatoid granulomatosis, had an ulcerative conjunctival nodular mass.…”

“…Biopsy of the conjunctival lesion disclosed patholog ical findings important for diagnosis and indicating progression of disease severity. Though occasionally mentioned in literature [3,5], conjunctival lesions in lymphomatoid granulomatosis have never been a source of characteristic pathologic findings as well as one of the important ocular manifestations. …”

Retinal Vasculitis in Lymphomatoid Granulomatosis With Concurrent Cytomegalovirus Retinitis

“…In 1 case, a 29-year-old man had bilateral retinal vasculitis. 4 Examination showed vascular sheathing with peripheral vascular leakage and nonperfusion on FA. Our case strengthens the literature and provides further evidence of retinal vasculitis as a potential ocular manifestation.…”

Primary orbital lymphomatoid granulomatosis

“…Ocular LYG is an extremely rare tumour, which appears as ocular granulomatous inflammation (conjunctival infiltration,1 posterior uveitis,2 choroidal vasculitis,3 optic neuropathy,4 and retinal detachment5), with only a few reports in the medical literature. Furthermore, there are no reports of primary orbital LYG without pulmonary LYG.…”
