A Clinico-pathological Phase II Study With Translational Elements to Investigate the Possible Infective Causes of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma of the Ocular Adnexae With Particular Reference to Chlamydia Species and the Effects of MALT Lymphoma Treatment With Tetracycline
Patients with suspected lymphoma of the ocular adnexae will undergo a diagnostic biopsy in
the usual way. If lymphoma is confirmed the patient will undergo a full staging evaluation
and entry into either part A or B of the study will then be considered as follows:

(MLOA) and eligible for treatment with Doxycycline 100 mg twice daily for 3 weeks ; or
- pathology only (part B) for patients with other types of ocular lymphoma, inflammatory
lesions or those ineligible/unwilling for treatment with doxycycline.
