Double-hit and triple-hit high-grade B-cell lymphoma of the ocular adnexa.

High-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBL) with c-MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements, also known as a double-hit and triple-hit lymphoma, is an aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma affecting older adults. After formal recognition of this entity in the 2017 revision of the World Health Organization Classification of lymphoid neoplasms, only two well-documented cases of triple-hit lymphoma of the orbit appear in the literature. Herein, we describe a 70-year-old man with progressive diplopia, ophthalmoplegia, and rapidly enlarging temporal mass. Biopsy revealed a tumor morphologically consistent with HGBL, coexpressing CD20, CD10, BCL6, BCL2, and c-MYC on immunohistochemical analysis. Fluorescence in-situ hybridization showed rearrangements in c-MYC and BCL-2 genes, confirming double-hit HGBL. Systemic workup revealed Ann Arbor stage IV disease. This report reviews the existing literature on ocular adnexal double-hit and triple-hit lymphoma and provides an update on the diagnostic ancillary studies, prognostic implications, and latest management for this aggressive hematolymphoid malignancy.
