Bilateral ocular panadnexal mass as initial presentation of systemic blastoid variant of mantle-cell lymphoma.
Survey of Ophthalmology 2017 January
A 66-year-old man developed a slowly enlarging, bilateral, painless, periorbital, and orbital swelling with ptosis, nonaxial proptosis, chemosis, exposure keratopathy, and decreased vision in both eyes. He had fever, night sweats, and weight loss (B-symptoms), along with lymphadenopathy and elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase, with no prior history of lymphoma. A transpalpebral incisional biopsy revealed a rare case of mantle-cell lymphoma of blastoid variant, stage IVB. The main immunophenotype characteristics were cyclin D1+, CD5+, CD10-, CD23-, Bcl-6-/+, and a high (up to 80%) Ki-67 proliferation index. Following an excellent response to the immune-chemotherapy treatment plan, all ocular adnexal lymphoma manifestations disappeared completely; however, 13 months after the initial presentation, there was a recurrence of the disease with rapid worsening and death. The blastoid variant of mantle cell lymphoma, a rare subtype of mantle-cell lymphoma, is a highly aggressive neoplasm, ultimately having a fatal outcome. As the initial manifestation of the disease, ocular adnexal region blastoid variant of mantle-cell lymphoma is an exceptional event, with only one previous case reported.
