RESUMO
CASO CLÍNICO: Varón de 68 años que consulta por disminución de agudeza visual progresiva en ojo derecho en el último año. En la exploración destaca una catarata moderada y un engrosamiento anular coroideo. Mediante ecografía ultrasónica, angiografía fluoresceínica y verde de indocianina, se confirma el diagnóstico de efusión uveal. El estudio hematológico diagnostica una gammapatía monoclonal de significado indeterminado tipo IgM lambda. Se decide tratamiento quirúrgico de la catarata e inyección subtenoniana de triamcinolona, consiguiendo un resultado visual muy satisfactorio a corto plazo. CONCLUSIÓN: Esta asociación no ha sido descrita previamente en la literatura, por lo que la gammapatía monoclonal de significado indeterminado IgM lambda podría incluirse en la lista de enfermedades asociadas a efusión uveal
CASE REPORT: A 68-year-old man was referred to the hospital with progressive decreased vision in the right eye over the past year. A moderate cataract and annular choroidal thickening were found. The diagnosis of uveal effusion was confirmed by ultrasound and fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography. Laboratory studies showed an IgM lambda subtype monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance. The patient underwent cataract surgery, and a sub-Tenon's triamcinolone injection with a satisfactory short-term outcome. CONCLUSION: This association has not been previously reported, and it shows that IgM lambda subtype monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance should be added to the list of disorders associated with uveal effusion
