Hydroa vacciniforme-like lymphoproliferative disorder with eye involvement
2021
Hydroa vacciniforme-like lymphoproliferative disorder (HVLPD) is characterized by vesiculopapular eruptions on sun-exposed and sometimes unexposed skin. Though ocular involvement in HVLPD is rare, it may present with conjunctivitis, corneal opacities, uveitis, and interstitial keratitis. We report a case of a 7-year-old boy with HVLPD, whose ophthalmic symptoms were neglected for over 2 years, who developed anterior uveitis and corneal nebulae without vision impairment. Awareness of eye involvement in patients with HVLPD may help to prevent severe complications.
