Seventeen patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma undergoing an investigative treatment regimen using extracorporeal photochemotherapy underwent ophthalmologic examinations to investigate the ocular findings in this disease. The most frequent finding was seborrheic blepharoconjunctivitis, which was noted in 13 of 17 patients. Other common lid findings included cicatricial ectropion, meibomianitis, chalazia, and madarosis. Corneal and conjunctival disease was also increased in this group of patients. The syndrome of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma has recently been redefined, and a discussion of the revised concept of this disease is included. Previous studies used the old definition of this disease and were limited to the subgroups of mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome, which comprise only one third of the cutaneous T-cell lymphoma population. |
