We report the case of an 80-year-old patient with isolated lymphoplasmacytoma of the conjunctiva. Only five other such cases have been previously reported in the literature. In all six patients, the disease remained limited and no sign of systemic disease could be found after prolonged follow-up. As isolated plasmacytoma of the conjunctiva seems to be benign, treatment of such tumours should be conservative.

The circulating lupus anticoagulant is a spontaneously acquired immunoglobulin that has been associated in vivo with an increased risk of thrombotic episodes. We describe the case of a young woman with central retinal-artery occlusion associated with circulating lupus anticoagulant in the absence of systemic lupus erythematosus or any other autoimmune or collagen vascular disease. In cases of central retinal-artery occlusion without apparent cause, the presence of the lupus anticoagulant should be excluded especially in cases that have been exposed to the human immunodeficiency virus.
