PURPOSE: To review the existing literature on patients with anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) affecting the globe and/or ocular adnexa, and to present a report documenting the clinical course of a patient with ALCL that involved their globe and ocular adnexa. METHODS: PubMed, Scopus, and Google scholar were systematically searched for all cases of ALCL involving intraocular or adnexal ocular structures from inception to May 2023. Moreover, a new reported case added to the cases found in searches. RESULTS: The review identified 1680 studies, with 8 meeting inclusion criteria. A total of 9 patients were included with a mean age of 29.7 years (median: 30.0, range: 1.3-48). Primary ALCL was present in 5/9 (55.6%) patients. The most common ophthalmic manifestations included periorbital swelling (5/8), chemosis (5.8), and decreased vision (5/7). Misdiagnoses were initially made in 3 patients, and the lag time to correct diagnosis from 3 weeks to 3 months. CD30 expression was positive in all cases, and 6/9 patients were positive for anaplastic lymphoma kinase, resulting in 6/9 patients being diagnosed with anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive ALCL. In terms of management modalities, chemotherapy was administered in 8/9 patients, while radiation therapy was utilized in 4/9 patients, and 2 underwent autologous stem cell transplantation. Five (55.6%) patients succumbed to ALCL while 4 (44.4%) were alive and disease-free at the last follow-up. The median times from the initial presentation of ALCL to death, ophthalmic presentation to death, and diagnosis to death were 4.12 months (range: 1.1-168.0), 2.62 months (range: 1.1-144), and 4.00 months (range: 0.10-168), respectively. The median follow-up duration was 21.0 months (range: 1.1-168.0). CONCLUSIONS: ALCL involving the globe and ocular adnexa is a rare and highly malignant tumor that can mimic benign clinical conditions. Early biopsy and aggressive treatment with chemotherapy regimens such as CHOP and radiation therapy may be useful.
