Abstract EN
Background.
Ocular involvement in mycosis fungoides (MF) cases occurs in one-third of patients with the eyelid being the most frequent site affected; however, conjunctival involvement is rarely reported.
Herein, we report a rare case of conjunctival involvement of MF.
Case Presentation.
A 66-year-old man who was previously diagnosed with MF in 2010 and was treated presented in 2014 complaining of foreign body sensation and redness in both eyes.
Slit lamp examination of both eyes showed erythematous conjunctival growth that extended circumferentially.
Physical examination revealed erythematous skin lesions on different body parts.
Conjunctival biopsy was performed and revealed a dense, highly polymorphic lymphocytic population.
The immunophenotype demonstrated a neoplastic T-cell origin consistent with MF.
A diagnosis of conjunctival involvement by MF was made.
The conjunctiva was treated with radiotherapy resulting in tumor regression.
There were no recurrences at the 6-month follow-up.
Conclusion.
T-cell lymphoma should be considered in patients with a history of MF presenting with conjunctival and skin lesions.
