Ocular involvement in lymphoma is a relatively rare condition
that can result from a primary intraocular lymphoma or an intraocular
manifestation of systemic lymphoma. Lymphoma
manifestations frequently masquerade as other more benign
intraocular conditions including allergic or infectious conjunctivitis,
uveitis, multiple evanescent white dot syndrome, acute
retinal necrosis, or herpetic retinitis. Accurate diagnosis depends
on a high index of suspicion and frequently requires
histopathological analysis of specimens, particularly vitreous
biopsy, subretinal aspiration, or retinal biopsy with flow cytometry
, polymerase chain reaction, or immunohistochemistry
methods. Most of ocular lymphomas are of B lineage. Diagnosis
is often complex and needs use of paraclinical evaluations.
Treatment mainly consists of chemotherapy. It is important to
review the ocular manifestations of lymphoma to assist ophthalmologists
in prompt diagnosis of ocular lymphoma. And it
also helps oncologists to recognize the need for a complete ophthalmic
evaluation in the diagnosis, follow-up, and management
of patients with lymphoma.
