[Malignant lymphoma of the eyelids].
A 51-year-old patient developed malignant lymphoma of both lower eyelids, which turned out to be immunocytoma of the lymphoplasmocytic subtype. The lymphatic tumor grew after several episodes of severe inflammation of the lids and conjunctiva in the presence of an underlying marked occupational allergy to chloramphenicol. The development of a so-called oculocutaneous immunocytoma from a reactive proliferation, its histological characteristics and its special clinical course are discussed on the basis of the present case.
