abstract:
Ocular adnexal marginal B-cell lymphoma (OAMZL) is the most common type of primary lymphoma of this anatomical site. OAMZL is a rare entity, accounting for 1-2% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas. A pathogenetic link with chronic infection by Chlamydia psittaci has been demonstrated in some geographical areas. Because of its rarity and the paucity of focused studies the clinical management of OAMZL is still controversial and uniform guidelines are not presently available.
