【 摘 要 】

PurposeTo describe a case of primary vitreoretinal lymphoma (PVRL), initially presented after successful repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).Case presentationA 65-year-old man underwent pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade for total RRD with grade C proliferative vitreoretinopathy in the right eye. Ten months after silicon oil removal, the patient presented with weakened vision, and multiple small yellow sub-retinal elevations was observed in fundus examination and optical coherence tomography (OCT). A cytopathologic examination of the vitreous showed lymphoid cell infiltration with nuclear atypia, which is strongly indicative of malignant lymphoma. Subretinal lesions continued with no noticeable improvement after 9 sessions of 400 microgram methotrexate therapy.ConclusionWe identified the presentation of PVRL in a vitrectomized eye and the response to treatment in this article.
