Objective: To report two cases of concomitant choroidal melanoma and intraocular non-Hodgkin lymphoma in two patients. Design: Case report. Participants: Two patients with yellow creamy infiltrates in fundo. Intervention: Both patients had a complete ophthalmologic evaluation and histology was obtained after enucleation of the affected eye. Main Outcome Measures: Histology findings of the enucleated eyes. Results: One patient showed a choroidal melanoma with a primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma located solely in the affected eye. The other patient showed a systemic non-Hodgkin lymphoma with ocular manifestations concomitant with a choroidal melanoma. Conclusions: In the presence of yellow creamy infiltrates one should include a choroidal lymphoma in the differential diagnosis even if there is another clear pathologic condition. Furthermore in those cases systemic disease should be excluded.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
