RESUMO
Os autores apresentam dois casos de pacientes com linfoma não-Hodgkin, diagnosticados inicialmente como uveite crônica de etiologia não determinada. Os exames posteriores a partir da presença de outros sinais e sintomas demonstraram a presença de linfoma não-Hodgkin nestes pacientes. Um dos pacientes apresentava "flecks" ao nível do epitélio pigmentar da retina e o outro paciente apresentava descolamento sólido do epitélio pigmentar da retina. Estas formas de envolvimento do epitélio pigmentar da retina não são usuais em linfoma não-Hodgkin.
