Primary intraocular lymphoma (PIOL) is an ocular malignancy that is a subset of primary central system lymphoma (PCNSL). Approximately one-third of PIOL patients will have concurrent PCNSL at presentation, and 42-92% will develop PCNSL within a mean of 8-29 months. Although rare, the incidence has been rising in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent populations. The majority of PIOL is dif...

primary adrenal lymphoma is extremely rare. we report a case with primary bilateral adrenal lym-phoma in a young male patient. he presented with abdominal pain and weight loss. pathologic study revealed malignant lymphoma, diffuse large cell type (t- cell origin). patient recieved combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy but 22 months after diagnosis died because of progression of dis ease

Purpose: To describe the reactive T-cell infiltrate in uveitis and intraocular lymphoma using flow cytometry of clinical intraocular specimens acquired during diagnostic pars plana vitrectomy. Methods: This was a retrospective review of diagnostic vitreous specimens (1992-2011) obtained at a university-based, tertiary care center. Seventy-eight patients with uveitis or lymphoma undergoing pars ...

Postmortem examination of a 5.5-year-old Holstein cow with history of sudden death showed a veryhuge spleen (120 × 45 × 10 cm) associated with severe haemoperitoneum. Histopathological findingsincluded extensive infiltration of medium to large sized lymphocytic and lymphoblastic cells with smallamounts of cytoplasm, round nuclei with coarsely granular chromatin in the spleen, and limited foci o...

although involvement of the heart by malignant lymphoma is relatively common, it is unusual to be detected premortem. we report a case of hodgkin's lymphoma who presented with systemic signs and symptoms including abdominal distension, weakness, pallor, chills and fever, hepatosplenomegaly and generalized lymphadenopathy as well as signs of heart failure. echocardiography revealed lucent myocar...

A retrospective histological study based on biopsy material of 341 cases of malignant lymphoma diagnosed at the Department of Pathology of the Seoul National University from 1976 through 1983 was conducted, to reveal some characteristics of malignant lymphomas occurring in Korea. Malignant lymphoma was the seventh most common malignant tumor (4.03%) among Koreans. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma predomi...

INTRODUCTION Malignant glaucoma occurs when the intraocular pressure elevates in the setting of a shallow anterior chamber and patent iridectomy. We describe a case in which malignant glaucoma that was refractory to conventional treatment and complete vitrectomy was successfully managed by rerouting the glaucoma tubes into the pars plana. CASE PRESENTATION A 47-year-old Latino man had a histo...

Primary intraocular lymphoma (PIOL) is a rare lymphoma. Because of difficulties in obtaining tissue samples, little is known about the disease's genetic features. In order to clarify these features, we carried out single nucleotide polymorphism array karyotyping of IOL using genomic DNA extracted from vitreous fluid. We analyzed 33 samples of IOLs consisting of 16 PIOLs, 12 IOLs with a central ...

Primary intraocular lymphoma can occur as an isolated eye tumor or involve both the globe and the central nervous system [I]. Secondary lymphoma may also involve the eye as a result of a systemic tumor [2-51. The syndrome was first recognized in 1951 by Cooper and Riker [6], and numerous cases have been reported since [I-271. The initial term for this non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was reticulum cell s...
