Abstract
Purpose: :
Uveal tract infiltration in patients with systemic lymphoma is uncommon. We discuss the UBM findings and clinical features of an HLA–B27 positive patient who initially presented with anterior uveitis and a peculiar iris infiltrate.
Methods: :
Clinical evaluation and literature review.
Results: :
High frequency ultrasound biomicroscopy showed diffuse uvea thickening and characteristic changes leading to a systemic clinical evaluation that revealed underlying systemic lymphoma and CNS lymphoma
Conclusions: :
UBM is a valuable technique to evaluate iris lesions and to diagnose anterior segment involvement from systemic and secondary CNS lymphoma.
