Intraocular lymphomas may be subclassified as primary ocular/central nervous system lymphoma and systemic non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Systemic non-Hodgkin lymphomas are usually B-cell lymphomas but may also be of T cell origin. Although ocular/central nervous system lymphomas may commonly be encountered with ocular involvement, it is rare for systemic non-Hodgkin lymphomas to be seen initially as ocular lesions.1-6 We report the case of a systemic large B-cell, non-Hodgkin lymphoma encountered as a choroidal mass with resolution of the ocular lesion after fine-needle aspiration biopsy.
Report of a Case
A 47-year-old woman sought treatment for sudden decreased vision in her left eye. Best-corrected visual acuity was 20/30 OD and hand movements OS. Intraocular pressure was 18 mm Hg in each eye. A left relative afferent pupillary defect was present. Results of an anterior segment examination were unremarkable in both eyes. Dilated ophthalmoscopic examination was unremarkable in the right eye, but disclosed a total, bullous serous retinal detachment . . . [Full Text of this Article]
