Abstract

Extra-nodal marginal zone B cell lymphomas (MZBCLs) of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues (MALT) arise at sites of chronic antigenic stimulation due to organ-specific autoimmunity or infections, like Helicobacter pylori-associated chronic gastritis and Borrelia burgdorferi dermatitis. Recently, conflicting data have been published regarding a possible association between Chlamydia psittaci and ocular adnexal MZBCL. In the present study, we analyzed a cohort of ocular adnexal MZBLs from the Netherlands for the presence of C. psittaci DNA. We found no evidence for the presence of C. psittaci DNA in any of the tumor samples studied. Our data do not support a role for C. psittaci in the pathogenesis of ocular adnexal lymphomas in patients from the Netherlands
