Lymphomas of the ocular adnexa are a heterogeneous group of malignancies, accounting for approximately 1% to 2% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs) and 8% of extranodal lymphomas.
We report a case of 34 years old healthy female, presented with the complaints of redness and irritation in left eye since 1 week. Best corrected vision in both the eyes was 6/6.Slitlamp examination revealed salmon coloured papillomatous lobulated growth in upper bulbar conjunctiva in left eye.Patient underwent excision of the lesion with amniotic membrane grafting(AMG) with glue. Sample was sent for histo-path examination which revealed structure of fibro collagenous tissue with infiltration of small sized atypical monomorphic lymphoid cells in sheets and vague follicles suggestive of non hodgkins lymphoma- B cell small cell type. 18-FDG PET CT scan was done which showed no metabolic active lesion in other areas.. Examination at 6 months showed no recurrence.AMG lowered the chances of symblapharon formation.
