Am J Ophthalmol. 1997 Jul;124(1):105-7. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9394(14)71652-6.

Abstract

Purpose: To report a rare case of solitary anaplastic large cell lymphoma, Ki-1+, of the eyelid.

Method: Case report. A firm ulcerated mass of the lower eyelid in a 10-year-old boy was the initial and only sign of anaplastic large cell lymphoma.

Results: A local excision of the mass was performed. Histologic examination disclosed large lymphoid anaplastic cells that reacted positively for T-cell markers and CD30 antigen.

Conclusion: A solitary eyelid mass can be an initial sign of anaplastic large cell lymphoma in children.
