| Title | Orbital lymphoma in an Irish cohort from 2008 to 2018. |
| Submitted by | Michael O’Rourke |
| Abstract ID | 18-194 |
| Review Result | rapid fire presentation |
| Abstract Number | 205 |
| Purpose | This study describes the clinical and pathological features of orbital lymphoma at a tertiary referral orbital service. |
| Methods | This cohort study examines all cases of orbital lymphoma at the Royal Victoria Eye and Ear Hospital, Dublin over a 10 year period. Tissues samples underwent microscopic examination, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, molecular genetic studies and fluorescent in situ hybridisation as appropriate. |
| Results | In total, 25 patients were diagnosed with orbital lymphoma with mean age 67 years (SD 18.9) and female predominance at 68%. Proptosis was the commonest presenting feature being obvious in half the cohort followed by ptosis, pain and strabismus. Optic nerve compression was present in 16%. Staging was as follows: stage 1;66%, stage 2; 16%, stage 3; 4%, stage 4; 12% with 70% low grade, 6% intermediate grade and 24% high grade. Marginal zone (MALT) were most common (40%) followed by follicular (16%), small lymphocytic (12%), Mantle cell (8%), diffuse large B cell (DLBC) (8%), primary CNS (4%), plasmablastic lymphoma (4%) and 1 case (4%) of multiple myeloma also included. Two patients in the cohort are deceased: one elderly patient with stage 4 high grade DLBC and one patient with plasmablastic lymphoma. One patient with stage 1AE who was pregnant (22/40) at the time of diagnosis deferred treatment until after delivery. All patients were staged and treatment by oncology and radiation-oncology services. Cataract and dry eye associated with radiotherapy is common. |
| Conclusion | Proptosis and ptosis should alert the clinician to suspect lymphoma prompting imaging and biopsy. Most orbital lymphomas are stage 1 and low grade and respond well to treatment. However, one third have disease outside the orbit and one quarter are high grade. Lymphomas presenting in the orbit are potentially life threatening and prompt collaboration with oncology colleagues is essential. |
