Primary intraocular lymphoma of T-cell type: report of a case and review of the literature

Abstract: A rare PIOL of T-cell type was diagnosed on the basis of vitreous aspiration and chorioretinal biopsy. In addition to conventional cytology and immunocytology, the utilisation of gene rearrangement studies on vitreous or chorioretinal biopsies increases the chances of diagnosing or excluding a PIOL of either B-cell or T-cell type. Despite its rarity, ophthalmic pathologists should always consider the diagnosis of T-PIOL when reviewing vitreous samples.

“…1 Rare subtypes include T-cell-rich B-cell lymphoma 58 and T-cell lymphoma. [59][60][61][62] VRL are characterized by a subretinal or perivascular retinal infiltration of pleomorphic medium-to-large sized cells with minimal basophilic cytoplasm, indented or folded nuclei, and prominent, often multiple, nucleoli. These changes can be quite discreet (Figure 3).…”

“…4B) [24,25,29]. Very rarely are PIOLs of T-cell lineage and if there is strong clinical evidence for suggesting such an entity (as in the setting of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma/mycosis fungoides) then we identify gene rearrangements in the T-cell receptor (TCR) gene by using primers for CDR3 and the variable region in the gamma chain (γ) gene [51]. All primers and necessary reagents are purchased from commercial sources.…”

“…Freqüentemente acometem o tecido linfóide (linfonodos e baço), mas podem apresentar manifestações extranodais em 25% dos casos, sendo os órgãos mais freqüentes o estômago, a pele, a cavidade oral, o intestino delgado e o sistema nervoso central (SNC) (1) . Linfoma intra-ocular primário (LIP) é raro (2)(3) e caracterizado por uma forma extranodal que pode envolver retina, espaço sub-retiniano, vítreo e nervo óptico (3) . É geralmente do tipo células B e do subtipo difuso de células grandes, sendo que alguns autores sugerem um imunofenotipo com origem em células centrais germinativas (2)(3) .…”
