Trilateral malignant lymphoma: primary malignant B-cell lymphoma of the eyes and brain. Diagnosis by transvitreal retinochoroidal biopsy

E Scherfig et al. Ophthalmologica. 1987.

Abstract

A 59-year-old woman with therapy-resistant bilateral involvement of posterior uvea and retina of some months' duration was examined. Diagnostic vitrectomy was inconclusive, but subsequent transvitreal retinochoroidal biopsy gave ample material for the immunohistopathological diagnosis of a malignant B cell lymphoma. Despite systemic and intrathecal cytostatics and ocular X-ray therapy, central nervous system involvement was observed 2 months later. The ocular lesions regressed after treatment and have not recurred.
