Abstract
- MCL (Mantle cell lymphoma) is a subtype of B-cell non-Hodgkin`s lymphoma and has been established as a clinicopathologic entity in 1991. Although the prognosis of MCL is poor because it is systemically disseminated at the time of diagnosis in most patients and responds poorly to chemotherapy, the authors experienced a primary mantle cell lymphoma without systemic lymphadenopathy through chest PA, orbit neck chest abdomen CT, bone marrow biopsy, and bone scan in a 56-year-old man who presented with conjunctival mass in right eye. The patient was treated with surgical excision and radiotherapy due to confinement to the conjunctiva. We also report the case with a recent review of the ophthalmic literature.
