SOLITARY INTRAOCULAR LYMPHOMA AS AN INITIAL PRESENTATION OF WIDESPREAD DISEASE ARCHIVES OF OPHTHALMOLOGY Fredrick, D. R., Char, D. H., Ljung, B. M., Brinton, D. A. 1989; 107 (3): 395-397

Abstract

A patient presented with a large peripapillary choroidal mass as the initial manifestation of widespread, poorly differentiated, large cell lymphoma. The choroidal tumor had clinical and ultrasonographic characteristics of a uveal malignant melanoma. A systemic evaluation and fine-needle aspiration biopsy specimens of the abdomen and choroid established the diagnosis of a lymphoma. On rare occasion, other neoplasms can simulate the diagnostic pattern of uveal melanoma, and fine-needle aspiration biopsy can be crucial in establishing the correct diagnosis.
