An Unusual Presentation of Pediatric Conjunctival Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma

Figure 1

Initial biopsy of the patient’s right palpebral conjunctival lesion. (a) Low magnification overview showing expansion of the subepithelial connective tissue by coalescent nodules of lymphocytes forming a mass lesion. H&E stain. (b) Medium magnification showing a mass forming sheet of small mature monomorphic lymphocytes compatible with a neoplastic process and not the mixed lymphocyte morphology of reactive lymphoid follicles. H&E stain. (c) High magnification showing monomorphic centrocyte-like and small mature lymphocytes without mitotic figures or tingible body macrophages, indicating a low-grade lymphoma. H&E stain.
