Abstract

Conjunctival lymphomas are rare entities and may present with non-specific ocular signs that resemble inflammation. They may mimic common ocular pathologies, leading to a delay in diagnosis and treatment. The treatment options of conjunctival lymphomas should be tailored to individuals due to their indolent nature compared to other adnexal lymphomas. Herein, the authors report a case of a primary follicular conjunctival lymphoma in a patient who presented with signs and symptoms of nodular anterior scleritis. The final histology of the conjunctiva lesion revealed primary follicular lymphoma. The patient was managed conservatively with active surveillance.
