We describe the first reported case of granulomatosis polyangiitis (GPA)-associated sclerokeratitis in a patient with treated ocular adnexal lymphoma (OAL). The patient presented with pain and decreased vision in the left eye over several weeks. Past medical history was significant for recent bilateral relapsing OAL that was treated successfully with radiotherapy. Examination of the eyes revealed sectoral scleritis and peripheral ulcerative keratitis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the orbits excluded recurrence of OAL and serum antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA) titres confirmed the diagnosis of GPA. Disease was poorly responsive to systemic steroids, azathioprine and rituximab. Ultimately, resolution was achieved with successive subconjunctival dexamethasone and subconjunctival triamcinolone injections. This case highlights the need to consider ocular inflammation in patients with a history of malignant hemopathies.
我们描述了首例治疗性眼附属器淋巴瘤(OAL)相关肉芽肿性多血管炎(GPA)相关性巩膜角膜炎病例。患者左眼出现数周疼痛和视力下降。既往病史为双侧复发性 OAL,经放射治疗成功治疗。眼部检查发现扇形巩膜炎和周边溃疡性角膜炎。眼眶磁共振成像(MRI)排除了 OAL 复发,血清抗中性粒细胞胞质自身抗体(ANCA)滴度证实 GPA 的诊断。疾病对全身类固醇、硫唑嘌呤和利妥昔单抗反应不佳。最终,通过连续的球结膜下地塞米松和球结膜下曲安奈德注射实现了缓解。该病例强调了需要考虑恶性血液病病史患者的眼部炎症。
