Interferon treatment of childhood conjunctival lymphoma

Abstract
A 15 year old male was referred by an ophthalmologist after an 8 month history of unusual painless follicles at both nasal fornices (Fig 1A). There were no visual symptoms and, based on a working diagnosis of an atypical vernal reaction, topical steroid treatment had resulted in mild size reduction of the lesions. Incisional biopsy was performed after the lesions remained static for 3–4 months.
