Figure 1
A–D. The patient’s right eye shows a subconjunctival, red, prominent mass extending from 11:30 to 8 o’clock. Vessels are dilated, with severe tortuosity. Bulbar Conjunctiva is oedematose; E, F. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) scan of this lesion shows intact conjunctival epithelium, with homogeneous, hyperreflective mass extending up to the Tenon capsule
Figure 2
Figure 2
A–D. Right eye after three injections of bevacizumab subconjunctival. The color of the lesion is much paler and the lesion tends to be smaller. It is possible to o see cross-sections of small vessels (arrows) in the optical coherence tomography (OCT) scan of this lesion (E, F). The mass is less homogenous, and the subepithelial lesion is concave and much more hyperreflective (arrowheads), which could indicate fibrosis
Figure 3
Figure 3
A–C. Right eye after ten injections, seventeenth months later. Slight dilatation of the conjunctival vessels, especially from the nasal side; D, E. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the anterior segment shows the disappearance of the lesion and standard cross-section of the conjunctiva. The homogenous mass’s disappearance and the normal stroma reappearance (asterisk), covered with hyperreflective epithelium (arrows). Tenons capsule (arrowhead), dashed arrow sclera

Figure 4
A–D. Right eye after seven years from the onset of lymphoma. The standard appearance of the conjunctiva, both in clinical and optical coherence tomography (OCT) examinations
