Ocular adnexal lymphoid tumors: progress in need of clarification

American Journal of Ophthalmology
F A Jakobiec

Abstract

To evaluate recent ophthalmic publications on ocular adnexal lymphomas (OALs) according to histopathologic and immunophenotypic criteria used in the diagnosis of systemic lymphomas (World Health Organization classification). Summary and critical analysis of recent clinical and pathologic studies. Literature review and interpretation. In the largest study of 353 cases of OALs published in the pathology literature, extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL) constituted 52%, follicular lymphoma 23%, mantle cell lymphoma 5%, and small cell lymphocytic and chronic lymphocytic leukemia 4%-plus a residuum of arcane entities. In smaller series of less intensively studied OALs in the ophthalmic literature, EMZLs had a higher preponderance and also were associated with a favorable prognosis. Many EMZLs seemed to arise primarily in the ocular adnexa (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue [MALT] lymphoma should be restricted for EMZLs involving epithelial tissues). Rigorous diagnostic criteria and a proposal for a prospective multicenter study may bring further clarification to the emerging order in this set of tumors.

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.

Cell Atlas of the Human Eye

Constructing a cell atlas of the human eye will require transcriptomic and histologic analysis over the lifespan. This understanding will aid in the study of development and disease. Find the latest research pertaining to the Cell Atlas of the Human Eye here.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

B cell Differentiation

Depending on the signal received through the B cell receptor and other receptors, B cells differentiate into follicular or marginal zone B cells. Here is the latest research pertaining to this differentiation process.

B-Cell Leukemia (Keystone)

B-cell leukemia includes various types of lymphoid leukemia that affect B cells. Here is the latest research on B-cell leukemia.

Campylobacteriosis (ASM)

Campylobacteriosis is caused by the bacteria Campylobacter jejuni and is a common cause of gastroenteritis in humans. Discover the latest research on Campylobacteriosis here.

B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.
