A 37-year-old man with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and
cytomegalovirus retinitis developed primary intraocular and central nervous
system lymphoma. Intraocular involvement was documented before death with
vitrectomy. Autopsy demonstrated the presence of cytomegalovirus retinitis
in the right eye and lymphoma in both eyes and the brain. We believe this
is the first report of autopsy-confirmed primary intraocular lymphoma in a
patient with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
