Primary Intraocular Lymphoma: Diagnosis and Differential Diagnosis

Abstract: Diagnosis of PIOL can be challenging. It requires a high degree of clinical suspicion and differential diagnosis includes infectious and non-infectious etiologies particularly the common masquaraders sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, viral retinitis and syphilis. The definitive diagnosis depends on demonstration of malignant lymphoma cells in ocular specimens or CSF. Ocular specimen could include vitreous, aqueous or chorioretinal biopsy. Ocular pathologist should be consulted prior to the diagnostic procedure to hel… Show more

“…Definitive diagnosis of PIOL requires identification of malignant lymphoid cells from ocular tissue or CSF [38]. Several techniques exist to obtain the required tissue, including: aqueous aspiration of the vitreous fluid, diagnostic vitrectomy, diagnostic retinal biopsy, diagnostic choroidal biopsy, or diagnostic enucleation as the case requires [12,17,34,38,39].…”

“…Several techniques exist to obtain the required tissue, including: aqueous aspiration of the vitreous fluid, diagnostic vitrectomy, diagnostic retinal biopsy, diagnostic choroidal biopsy, or diagnostic enucleation as the case requires [12,17,34,38,39]. The workup should include chest radiography, complete blood count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and routine blood chemistries to rule out other sources of inflammatory uveitis, as well as complete neurologic examination, brain CT and MRI [39].…”

“…Среди всех лимфом внутриглазное поражение диагностируют менее чем в 1% случаев, и чаще оно возникает вто-рично после установления диагноза на фоне си-стемного заболевания, включающего и вовлечение ЦНС [2][3][4][5][6].Локальное монолатеральное поражение без во-влечения внутренних органов на протяжении не-скольких лет позволяет рассматривать некоторые внутриглазные лимфомы как первичные опухоли экстранодального происхождения. Двусторонность опухолевого процесса в радужке может свидетель-ствовать о системном характере лимфопролифера-тивного заболевания [2][3][4][5][6].…”
