- •
A review of MALT type lymphoma of ocular adnexa is proposed.
- •
Over the last decades, we have assisted to an increase in the incidence of primary ocular adnexa lymphomas (POALs).
- •
The ocular tissue biopsy, before the initiation of the appropriate treatment, is mandatory and necessary for a correct diagnosis of POALs.
- •
Among the POALs, the most common is the primary extra nodal lymphoma of MALT-type (POAML).
- •
The clinical manifestations are heterogeneous and its management requires a multidisciplinary approach involving ophthalmologists, hematologists and radiotherapists.
