As lymph nodes are distributed throughout the body, lymphomas may manifest with involvement in various areas. This can cause difficulties in diagnosis as well as delayed treatment. The incidence of lymphoproliferative ocular diseases has increased, but intraocular involvement is a rare finding in lymphomas and late diagnosis is due to nonspecific signs. Ocular involvement is more prevalent in non-Hodgkin lymphomas. There are some documented cases of HL with ocular involvement, most of which are found after diagnosis of the disease. Although rare, there are also patients who have ocular symptoms and are later diagnosed with HL.
