Description
Maria Vivas and co-authors report an eye-surface lymphoma that masqueraded as ordinary inflammation for about a year, in a 2026 case report. A woman in her early fifties arrived with a month of discomfort and redness in one eye, and two fleshy nodules that looked like nodular episcleritis. Steroid and anti-inflammatory drops eased her symptoms, yet the lumps only shrank partly.
That split, comfort without cure, was the first clue. Early blood markers hinted at sarcoidosis, but scans and a first biopsy found only reactive tissue. A later biopsy with a lymphoma-focused panel made the diagnosis: a slow-growing small lymphocytic lymphoma in both eyes.
