ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To report a case of secondary choroidal lymphoma. CASESUMMARY:
A 57-year-old female presented at our clinic with decreased vision in her right eye 1 month in duration. Slit-lamp examination showed vitreous cells in the right eye. Fundus examination of the right eye revealed an elevated yellowish mass-like lesion at the temporal area and multifocal yellowish patches at the choroidal level. The clinical impression was intraocular lymphoma. We performed diagnostic vitrectomy, but the result was negative. A systemic evaluation revealed enlarged cervical lymph nodes and lymph node biopsy showed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The patient was diagnosed as secondary choroidal lymphoma associated with systemic lymphoma and was treated with systemic chemotherapy and 4 injections of intravitreal methotrexate. The patient is scheduled for regular follow-ups.CONCLUSIONS:
Choroidal mass may be the initial presenting sign of systemic lymphoma, and an extensive systemic evaluation should be performed.
