Six cases of subconjunctival tumor clinically compatible with the appearance of subconjunctival lymphoma were evaluated. Two of the patients, Cases 1 and 2, were under treatment with either prednisone or gold therapy for severe rheumatoid arthritis. Patient 3 manifested further evidence of systemic disease (auxillary lymph node). Of the remaining cases, patient 4 had no further evidence of systemic involvement, whereas patient 5 was suspected of having a gastrointestinal tumor. The last case, a patient known to have pulmonary lymphoma, presented with dry eye and multiple subconjunctival lymphomatous masses. Immune surface marker studies demonstrated a B-cell monoclonal subconjunctival lymphoma, suggestive of an improved survival when compared to null cell-type lesions. Immune surface marker studies offer a new commercially available method for classifying and prognosticating subconjunctival lymphomas.
