UNASSIGNED: Medical History: In February 2007, a 13-year old @entity1 presented with a livid @entity5 in the lower conjunctival fornix of the left eye. Ophthalmological Findings: The @entity5 was salmon-coloured, bulging and elastic and filled the whole lower conjunctival fornix of the left eye. There was no other pathological finding in the left eye. Uncorrected visual acuity was 20/20. Intraocular pressure was 12   mmHg. The eye was fully motile. Treatment: Incisional biopsy was performed in February 2007. The @entity5 was histologically an extranodal @entity1074 . DNA testing for Chlamydophila trachomatis and @entity7566 was negative. Systemic treatment was started with @entity3403 (200   mg daily). After six weeks, the @entity5 was slightly smaller. @entity4580 500   mg once a week was added. 18 months after initiation of the treatment, the @entity5 had completely regressed. A second sample taking in the former @entity5 area showed @entity5 -free conjunctiva and subconjunctival tissue. As a precaution, the combined antibiotic therapy was continued for 10 months and the @entity1 was followed for five more years. The @entity706 did not relapse in the conjunctiva and orbit or in the whole body. Conclusion: We showed that extranodal @entity1074 of the conjunctiva can be successfully treated with antibiotics alone. At the start of therapy, the @entity1 was 13 years old. To our knowledge, this @entity1 is the first @entity1 in Germany and one of the first in the world with @entity706 who could be successfully treated with combined antibiotic therapy and who could be followed up for 5 years without relapse. Thus, we could avoid radiotherapy or chemotherapy in childhood and eliminate the risk of a therapy-induced @entity5 .
