Keynote: Ocular adnexal lymphoproliferative disorders: Recent advances and challenges ahead
Time : 10:00-10:35
Biography:
The incidence of ocular adnexal lymphoproliferative disorders is on the rise and lymphoma is one of the commonest orbital malignancy. Varied presentations and cellular pleomorphism presents a diagnostic challenge. As the knowledge of molecular genetics has increased, the diagnosis has become more accurate. Also, the ability to stage the disease, and to assess the extent of systemic involvement ha salso increased with better imaging techniques. In this keynote address, the author discusses the recent advances made in diagnosis and management, alongwith the challenges the clinicians face while dealing with these disorders. The presentation will include interesting cases, imaging and other details.
