  • Title: Vitreous cytology in primary cerebroretinal malignant lymphoma.
    Author: Weiner JM, Ramsay RJ, Anand N, Cairns JD.
    Journal: Aust J Ophthalmol; 1984 Feb; 12(1):33-7. PubMed ID: 6732656.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 72-year-old woman who presented with vitreous opacities of unknown cause. A pars plana vitrectomy yielded material in which there were atypical lymphoid cells consistent with malignant lymphoma. Five months after the vitrectomy, the patient re-presented with cerebral lymphoma. Our report emphasizes the value of cytological examination of the vitreous in selected cases. We also review the features of malignant lymphoma of the retina and stress the cerebroretinal axis of involvement in this disease.
