Diversity of AEG-1 and LEF-1 expressions in different Ann Arbor clinical stages showed a statistically significant result(P〈0.05). A positive relevance between AEG-1 and LEF-1 was observed in MALT ocular adnexal lymphoma(r=0.435, P=0.016).CONCLUSION:The over expressions of AEG-1 and LEF-1 at the level of protein and mR NA participates in the tumorigenesis of ocular adnexal MALT lymphoma. They should act as a new biological marker for pathological diagnosis in the future.展开更多
