Differential
  • Lacrimal fossa masses
    • ~1/2 are of epithelial origin
      • ~1/2 are benign mixed epithelial
      • ~1/3 are adenoid cystic carcinoma
    • Most of the remainder is lymphoid in origin

Systemic Evaluation
  • MRI brain/chest/abdomen/pelvis WNL
  • Whole body PET scan WNL
  • Bone marrow - negative flow-cytometry studies
    • Heavy chain gene rearrangement: clonally expanded population
23
Treatment

  • H.pylori eradication therapy
  • Chlamydia eradication therapy (Doxy)
  • Close heme-onc followup
  • Ophthalmology followup - resolution of supraorbital fullness

Discussion
25
Orbital Lymphoproliferative Disease
  • Orbital NHL - 9% of all orbital tumors
    • 16/111 in lacrimal fossa (n=114 lacrimal fossa lesions)
  • 8/114 additional lacrimal fossa lesions were “benign reactive hyperplasia” and “atypical hyperplasia”
26
Extranodal MALT, general
  • 8% of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma
  • Mean age: 60 years
  • 2/3 are Stage I or Stage II at diagnosis
  • 20% B (systemic) symptoms
  • 14% with bone marrow involvement
  • 75% 5-year survival rate
27
Extranodal MALT of the Orbit Prevalence
  • 32 consecutive primary adnexal lymphomas (23 isolated, 3 local tissues, 6 distant spread)
    • 15 MALT (13/15 isolated)
      • 3 lacrimal, 2 conjunctival
    • 8 Diffuse Large B Cell
28
Extranodal MALT of the Orbit
Features
  • Median age - 44 years
  • Median duration of symptoms - 11 months
  • Presentation: Mass (65%) / Swelling (35%) / Proptosis (24%) / Irritation (21%) / Diplopia (11%)
  • OD (20) / OS (10) / OU (7)
  • Stage: IAe (25/37)
  • Conjunctiva (51%) / Retrobulbar (24%) / Lacrimal (11%)
29
Extranodal MALT of the Orbit
Treatment
  • Rx: radiotherapy alone (29/37), chemo alone (3), surgical excision alone (2)
    • Radiotherapy alone: 1 contralateral orbital relapse after 28 months (median followup 21 months)
    • Median dose: 30 Gy
    • 40 Gy: 2/3 develop xeroophthalmia or cataract
30
Stage Ie or IIe MALT
Treatment
  • 85 consecutive patients treated with radiotherapy alone
    • 84 complete remissions
    • 14 relapses
    • 77% Five year disease-free survival
31
Patient-Specific Immunochemistry
  • Positive staining: CD21, CD23, CD20
  • Negative: CD5, CD23, CD10, BCL-6, CD43
