Uveal lymphosarcoma.

چکیده
LYMPHOMATOUS tumours involving the lids and orbit have been recognized and repeatedly reported in the literature for many years; intra-ocular involvement on the contrary is rare if the lymphomatous infiltrations associated with lymphatic leukaemia are excluded. Kukain (1935) and Triebenstein (1920) have each described a case of uveal lymphosarcoma complicated by secondary glaucoma, and other isolated cases of ocular lymphoma have been reported by Hartshorne (1922), McGavic (1943), and Cooper and Riker (1951). Further indication of the comparative rarity of the condition is that, in a series of 67 cases of orbital lymphoma examined by Heath (1948), only three showed involvement of the globe. Ofthe biopsies oflymphomatous tumours examined in the pathology department at the Institute of Ophthalmology during the past 10 years, only one recent specimen showed evidence of intra-ocular involvement; since this case proved to be of especial clinical and pathological interest in that both orbital and intra-ocular tissues were involved, it has been made the subject of this report.
