Abstrakt: Purpose: To describe a case of an unusual presentation of systemic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with clinical and histopathologic findings closely resembling that of primary intraocular lymphoma.
Design: Observational case report.
Methods: A 58-year-old woman with a history of treated systemic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma presented 2 years later with a subretinal lesion and intraocular inflammation in her left eye.
Results: Diagnostic enucleation and histopathologic studies revealed findings consistent with primary intraocular lymphoma including intraretinal, subretinal, and subretinal pigment epithelial tumor cells without involvement of the choroid.
Conclusions: We conclude that systemic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma can present remotely with findings resembling primary intraocular lymphoma and should be included in the differential diagnosis of intraocular inflammation and subretinal infiltrates.
