| Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) is a lymphoproliferative malignancy that has unfortunately been on the rise. It is an umbrella of dozens of disease processes, heterogeneous in clinical course and equally variable in area of involvement. While the ocular structures are less likely sites of propagation, they are not spared entirely, lending a role for eyecare providers to understand, to identify, and to ensure that patients receive the additional diagnostic testing and treatment in the timely manner that they need. The relevance of understanding ocular lymphoma is increasing as the rate of incidence of NHL continues to grow in Western countries. It is especially important for the clinician to understand the variability in clinical presentations and to be prudent in discerning often misdiagnosed clinical findings. A case of the most common form of ocular lymphoma is discussed and will serve as an example of how to approach ocular lymphomas as a class of diseases overall. |
