A Case of Primary Vitreous Retinal Lymphoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
To the Editor: Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is defined as lymphoma confined to the brain, spinal cord, eye, or leptomeninges. Ocular involvement can be detected in about 20% of PCNSL patients with primary vitreous retinal lymphoma (PVRL), which is generally a high‐grade diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma, being the most common subtype. The incidence of PVRL is extremely low, with 300–380 new cases diagnosed each year in the United States, which is equivalent to an annual incidence of approximately 4.8 cases per million. PVRL typically affects seniors aged 60–85 years, while seldom occurs in younger patients.[1] Here, we report a case of young PVRL.
