“…Sloas ct al. [2] reported that yellow-white punctate nonelevated retinal le sions of ocular reticulum cell sarcoma disap peared after radiation therapy. This was also demonstrated by Lang et al [7], whose histo pathological study showed a small cluster of atypical cells between the retinal pigment epi thelium and Bruch's membrane.…”

“…This was also demonstrated by Lang et al [7], whose histo pathological study showed a small cluster of atypical cells between the retinal pigment epi thelium and Bruch's membrane. Some reports of ocular reticulum cell sarcoma showed neo plastic cells in the vitreous by examinations of postmortem eyes, enucleated eyes [2,9] or specimens of diagnostic pars plana vitrectomy [2,4,6,10]. Sloas et al [2] reported that his topathological studies of vitreous aspirate showed the presence of neoplastic mononucle ar cells and that the vitrous opacity completely disappeared after irradiation [2].…”

“…sarcoma is extremely radiosensitive, early treatment of correctly diagnosed cases can lead to favorable results. However, only a few cases effectively treated with radiotherapy have been published so far [2,3], We report a case of ocular reticulum cell sarcoma accompanied w'ith a lesion of the central nervous system in w'hom the ocular lesion was effectively treated by radiotherapy.…”

A Case of Ocular Reticulum Cell Sarcoma Responded to Radiation Therapy

We report a case of reticulum cell sarcoma with involvement both in the brain and the eyes. The patient was a 49-year-old man. In 1985, he suffered steroid-resistant uveitis of unknown etiology in his right eye. After that, in 1986, he was aware of a weakness in the right arm and leg and of right sensory disturbances. Histopathological study of a biopsy specimen revealed a malignant lymphoma in the left thalamus, and the lesion was effectively treated by radiation to the brain. In 1987, he complained of visual disturbances in the left eye. According to the history and ocular manifestation, the disease was diagnosed as ocular reticulum cell sarcoma. Radiation therpay to his left orbital cavity was effective and inflammatory signs in the left eye subsided.

“…Recent immunohistochemical studies indicated that lymphoid tumor cells were predominantly stained with B-cell markers [4,7,[24][25][26][27][28], A diagnosis o f PIL was made by cytologic evaluation from samples obtained through paracentesis of the anterior chamber, vitreous biopsy [29,30], and histopathological ex amination of the transscleral biopsy specimen [16,17], Char et al [1] reported that vitreous biopsy established the diag nosis of intraocular lymphoma in over 95% of patients. Peyman et al [31] reported the first case in which excisional biopsy of an intraocular mass was performed to obtain a fi nal histopathological diagnosis.…”

Primary Intraocular Lymphoma Mimicking Late Postoperative Endophthalmitis

et al. 1995

We treated a 65-year old woman with diffuse uveitis and an intraocular mass. The diffuse uveitis resolved with the administration of corticosteroids, but the intraocular mass did not respond to treatment. A transscleral biopsy of the lesion was performed. Histophathological study revealed non-Hodgkin’s large-cell lymphoma. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that the tumor cells were derived from B-cells. The intraocular mass diminished after radiation therapy. The transscleral biopsy proved useful in establishing the correct diagnosis.
