  • Title: [Oculocerebral malignant non-Hodgkin lymphoma. A report of 5 cases].
    Author: Meyer P, Cuny T, Daicker B.

    Abstract:
    Five patients, age 35 to 77, with histologically proven malignent ocular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (previously known as reticulum cell sarkoma) are presented. The clinical ocular findings (vitreous infiltrates, retinal infiltrates, anterior uveitis) were initially misinterpreted as "panuveitis". The usual antiinflammatory therapie a temporary diminution of the "uveitis" could be observed. Four cases showed a histologically proven CNS involvement. All the patients (except the one in whom the correct diagnosis was made post mortem) received cerebral radiation therapie, including the eyes. Under the radiation therapy the ocular findings disappeared within a few weeks. The longtime prognosis for the eye and quoad vitam is unfortunately not promissing.
