A solitary conjunctival relapse of Hodgkin's disease treated by radiotherapy.
A 78-year-old woman had a conjunctival mass in the inferior fornix. The lesion was diagnosed as a solitary relapse of Hodgkin's disease (HD), lymphocytic predominance type, which had been diagnosed 6 years earlier as stage III-B. It was successfully treated by local irradiation, with no evidence of local recurrence or any local ocular complications during a follow-up period of 3 years.
