The authors have performed frozen section immunologic stains on 16 cases of ocular lymphocytic infiltrates and correlated the results with clinical and histologic findings. Their cases included inflammatory pseudotumor (3), reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (3), atypical lymphocytic infiltrate (9), and small cleaved cell lymphoma (1). Seven of the nine cases with an atypical lymphocytic infiltrate expressed one immunoglobulin light chain, while only one of six considered reactive on histologic evaluation had immunologic results suggestive of a neoplastic B cell proliferation. The case of follicular small cleaved cell lymphoma expressed B lineage antigens but did not express immunoglobulin; this patient died of disseminated lymphoma two years after conjunctival involvement. Percentages and subset ratios of T lymphocytes were quantitated and showed similar results in reactive and neoplastic lesions. There is no apparent difference in clinical presentation or follow-up information between patients with reactive lesions and those having an atypical lymphocytic infiltrate with monotypic immunoglobulin.
