Conjunctival lymphomas are rare entities and may present with non-specific ocular signs that resemble inflammation. They may mimic common ocular pathologies, leading to a delay in diagnosis and treatment. The treatment options of conjunctival lymphomas should be tailored to individuals due to their indolent nature compared to other adnexal lymphomas. Herein, the authors report a case of a primary follicular conjunctival lymphoma in a patient who presented with signs and symptoms of nodular anterior scleritis. The final histology of the conjunctiva lesion revealed primary follicular lymphoma. The patient was managed conservatively with active surveillance.

A 69-year-old Japanese male with follicular lymphoma and renal pelvic carcinoma presented with fever and cough, testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 via PCR. Chest CT revealed ground-glass opacities. Initially, his symptoms improved with a 10-day course of remdesivir (RDV), but they recurred.

Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL), including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), Burkitt lymphoma (BL), and follicular lymphoma (FL), predominantly arise from B cells undergoing germinal center (GC) reactions. The transcriptional repressor B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) is indispensable for GC formation and contributes to lymphomagenesis via its BTB domain-mediated suppression of target genes. Dysregulation of BCL6 underpins the pathogenesis of GC-derived NHL.

Purpose: Recent advancements in imaging, particularly 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography-computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT), have improved the detection of involved lymph nodes, thus influencing staging accuracy and potentially treatment outcomes. This study is a post hoc analysis of the GAZAI trial data to evaluate the impact of FDG-PET/CT versus computed tomography (CT) alone on radiation target volumes for involved-site radiotherapy (IS-RT) in early-stage follicular lymphoma (FL).
Methods: All patients in the GAZAI trial underwent pretherapeutic FDG-PET/CT examinations, which were subject to central quality control.

This review discusses multiple aspects of follicular lymphoma (FL), including etiology, treatment challenges, and future perspectives. First, we delve into the etiology of FL, which involves a variety of pathogenic mechanisms such as gene mutations, chromosomal abnormalities, immune escape, immune system dysregulation, familial inheritance, and environmental factors. These mechanisms provide the context for understanding the diversity and complexity of FL.

Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a disease often characterized by chronic and successive relapses after first-line chemoimmunotherapy. Although chemoimmunotherapy and combination therapy, such as lenalidomide with rituximab, are well established in the treatment sequence of FL, there is a need to streamline treatment options and determine placement of novel agents, such as chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, an enhancer of zeste homolog 2 inhibitor, or a phosphoinositide 3 kinase inhibitor, into the treatment landscape. As such, the purpose of this review is to compare the safety profiles of approved agents in subsequent lines of therapy for relapsed or refractory FL and to assess how the management of adverse events may impact treatment choice.
