Abstract

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) represents an uncommon variant of T-cell lymphomas and most often presents insidiously with systemic symptoms. This report constitutes the first documented case of conjunctival AITL, masquerading as nodular episcleritis, and describes both the clinical and pathological findings. Furthermore, conjunctival T-cell lymphoma in general remains a rare occurrence, and a survey of previously reported cases reveals a wide variation in clinical presentation. A high index of suspicion, thorough examination and conjunctival biopsy are essential to reaching the diagnosis of conjunctival lymphoma.
