Ocular Surface Squamous Neoplasia In Situ Secondary to Bruton Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Therapy
Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors have become an important therapeutic option in treating B-cell malignancies including non-Hodgkin lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. However, a noted morbidity associated with their use is the potential for the development of second primary malignancy related to immunomodulation. In this case, we report a second primary malignancy of ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) owing to BTK therapy. The OSSN was successfully treated and has been monitored without recurrence. To our knowledge, this is the first case of OSSN secondary to BTK therapy.
