Strong Resemblance

The ultrastructure of the Harderian gland from the euryhaline species Malaclemys terrapin is nearly identical with that of the Harderian gland from several freshwater and stenohaline emydines. The abundant rough-surfaced endoplasmic reticulum, and the prominence of the secretory droplets throughout most of the cytoplasm, indicate that this gland is primarily involved in the secretion of organic materials, and has no role related to the salinity of the environment in which the animals are kept. However, the ultrastructure of the lachrymal gland in Malaclemys differs markedly from that of the remaining emydines studied. In the freshwater emydines the lachrymal gland appears to be involved in the secretion of organic material; the tubules contain both mucous and serous cells. In the lachrymal gland from Malaclemys secretory droplets, Golgi apparatus, and endoplasmic reticulum were insignificant features, while mitochondria, glycogen, and microvilli on the serosal surfaces of the cells were very prominent. These and other features cause a strong resemblance between the lachrymal gland in Malaclemys and other tissues noted for active transport. The above morphological evidence suggests that if either of the orbital glands is involved in osmoregulation the most probable choice is the lachrymal gland.

PURPOSE: Nongastrointestinal locations represent about 30% to 40% of all low-grade mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas. We report a retrospective analysis of 75 patients with nongastrointestinal low-grade MALT lymphoma, presenting their clinical, therapeutic, and follow-up data with respect to the initial location of the lymphoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From January 1988 to October 1997, 75 patients with untreated nongastrointestinal low-grade MALT lymphoma were subjected to treatments ranging from local radiotherapy and local interferon alfa administration to chemotherapy. The lymphomas were located in the lung (19 patients), orbital soft tissue (16 patients), skin (seven patients), thyroid (seven patients), lachrymal gland (six patients), conjunctiva (six patients), salivary gland (six patients), breast (three patients), eyelid (two patients), larynx (one patient), bone marrow (one patient), and trachea (one patient). RESULTS: Complete and partial remissions were achieved in 59 (79%) and 16 (21%) of the 75 patients, respectively, with an overall response rate of 100%. All but two of the patients are still alive, with a median follow-up of 47 months; these two patients died from other causes. The estimated time to treatment failure rate is 30% at 5 years. In the thyroid and lachrymal gland sites, no relapses were reported. CONCLUSION: Our data regarding the largest reported series of nongastrointestinal MALT lymphomas confirm the good prognosis of this particular clinicopathologic entity and the significant efficacy of different therapeutic approaches to specific sites.

Salt Secretion

A gross anatomical and light microscopic study of the orbital regions of several stenohaline and one euryhaline emydine turtles has shown that each has two orbital glands, the Harderian and the lachrymal. The Harderian is apparently serous and is identical in all species. The lachrymal gland of all the stenohaline species is a mixed seromucous gland. In the euryhaline Malaclemys, the lachrymal gland differs in being much larger and possessing a structure which resembles to a degree other known salt glands. The lachrymal glands from Malaclemys housed in salt and in fresh water differ in size and histochemistry. Whether these differences are related to salt secretion, corneal lubrication, or some other function is not known.
