  • Title: Vitreitis and Waldenström's macroglobulinemia.
    Author: Knox CM, Wong IG, Howes EL, Barkin A, Kearney J.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1998 Aug; 126(2):314-5. PubMed ID: 9727531.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To describe vitreitis in a patient with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia. METHODS: Case report and review of pertinent literature. RESULTS: A 90-year-old man developed vitreitis 10 years after a systemic diagnosis of a lymphoproliferative disorder. Numerous small, normal-appearing lymphocytes were seen on pathologic examination of the vitreous. He developed worsening lymphadenopathy and was diagnosed with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia after systemic review. CONCLUSION: Chronic lymphoproliferative diseases such as Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia may cause vitreitis.
