“…The logistics and potential adverse acute and late effects from the recommended radiotherapy were discussed, including but not limited to conjunctivitis, cataract formation (up to 50% of the patients), mild xerophthalmia (20-40% of the patients), corneal ulceration (very low risk at this dose), vision loss (extremely low risk as this dose), dermatitis, infection, pain, fatigue, and radiation-induced malignancies. 11,12 The purpose of this case is to demonstrate the rare finding and potential association of peripheral ulcerative keratitis to the underlying disease of MALT lymphoma. We hope that this case is illustrative and informative for ophthalmologists and other physicians, as early detection and treatment of MALT lymphoma is favorable for patient outcomes.…”

Objective To report a case of ocular mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma presenting with peripheral ulcerative keratitis. Methods A 58-year-old man with a history of vitreous syneresis in both eyes and glaucoma presented with an abnormal, painful sensation of the left eye and mild hyperemia. Physical examination revealed peripheral ulcerative keratitis superiorly and a salmon-colored lesion in the superior conjunctiva. Results The differential diagnosis of superior corneal thinning includes collagen vascular disease, Terrien’s marginal degeneration, infectious keratitis, and other forms of peripheral keratitis. Our patient was diagnosed with conjunctival MALT lymphoma by surgical excision of the mass, and the peripheral ulcerative keratitis may be related to this diagnosis. Conclusion Although rare, this case demonstrates a peripheral keratitis possibly related to the underlying disease of MALT lymphoma. The patient is being treated with local radiation treatment.

Choroidal metastasis from prostate adenocarcinoma is exceedingly rare. Furthermore, data addressing the optimal therapeutic strategy is limited. A 62-year-old male patient with metastatic prostate cancer was found to have a choroidal metastasis after complaining of decreased vision in his left eye. Following treatment with external beam radiotherapy, complete response in the choroidal metastasis was demonstrated. A literature search was undertaken to highlight the therapeutic options for this rare presentation. Choroidal metastasis secondary to adenocarcinoma of the prostate is exceedingly rare, as only eight cases have been reported so far. External beam radiotherapy is an effective therapeutic modality.
