Review:

From the book reviews:

“This well written text covers the spectrum of eye-related presentations of lymphoma in a concise yet thorough manner that can easily be read in a single sitting. ... serves as an in-depth and up-to-date source of knowledge needed to diagnose and treat ocular, orbital, and periocular lymphoma. ... highly recommended as a reference for any disease entity within the classification of ocular and adnexal lymphoma. It should be useful to ocular pathologists, ocular oncologists, retina specialists, and comprehensive ophthalmologists alike.” (Shree K. Kurup, Kevin S. Chen, Victor T. Copeland and James R.
