Abstract

A 45-year old man who had been diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma at the age of 40 years presented to our clinic with the complaint of bilateral blurred vision 2 months after autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT). His visual acuity was 20/20 bilaterally. Anterior segment examination and intraocular pressure were within normal limits in both eyes. Dilated fundus examination revealed flame-shaped and round retinal hemorrhages bilaterally and a cotton-wool spot in the posterior pole of the right eye. According to medical history, he received autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation after being treated with a drug regimen of rituximab (375 mg/m2), etoposide (100 mg/m2), carboplatin (25+CrCI), ifosfamide (5000 mg/m2), mesna (5000 mg/ m2) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) (mcg/kg), he was given focal neck radiation therapy 8 months ago. When ocular examination was performed, anemia (Hb: 6.1 g/dL), thrombocytopenia (PLT: 42x103 /uL) and leukopenia (WBC: 3x103/uL) was detected in hematologic blood parameters and no chemotherapeutic drug was used at the time of the examination. Retinopathy frequently occurs in various systemic malignant diseases. The use of combined drug regimen, irradiation, anemia and thrombocytopenia are likely to be among the factors playing a role in the development of retinopathy after autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. We suggested routine fundus examination of patients receiving autologous stem cell transplantation, combined chemotherapeutic regimen and/or radiation therapy

Özet

Diffüz büyük B hücreli lenfoma tanısı almış olan 45 yaşındaki erkek hasta, otolog periferik kan kök hücre transplantasyonundan (PKHT) 2 ay sonra her iki gözde bulanık görme şikayeti ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Görme seviyeleri her iki gözde tam seviyesindeydi. Her iki gözün ön segment muayenesi ve göz içi basınçları normaldi. Fundoskopik muayenede her iki gözde iğ şeklinde ve yuvarlak retinal hemorajiler tespit edildi, ayrıca sağ gözde arka kutupta lokalize yumuşak eksuda görüldü. Hastanın özgeçmişinden, rituximab (375 mg/m2), etoposide (100 mg/m2), carboplatin (25+CrCI), ifosfamide (5000 mg/m2), mesna (5000 mg/m2) and granülosit koloni-stimüle edici faktör (G-CSF) içeren tedavi rejimi sonrasında otolog PKHT yapıldığı öğrenildi. Ayrıca bize başvurusundan 8 ay öncesinde boyun bölgesine lokalize radyoterapi alma öyküsü bulunmaktaydı. Göz muayene bulguları yapıldığı dönemde herhangi bir kemoterapötik ilaç almıyordu ve bu dönemde yapılan hematolojik incelemede ise; anemi (Hb: 6.1 g/dL), trombositopeni (PLT: 42x103 /uL) ve lökopeni (WBC: 3x103/uL) tespit edildi. Sistemik malign hastalıklarda retinopati sıklıkla görülebilmektedir. Kombine ilaç tedavisi kullanımı, radyasyon tedavisi, anemi ve trombositopeni gelişimi PKHT sonrasında retinopati gelişiminde rol oynayan faktörler arasında yer almaktır. Biz bu çalışma ile, otolog kan kök hücre transplantasyonu yapılan, kombine ilaç rejimi kullanan ve radyasyon tedavisi alan sistemik maligniteleri bulunan hastaların rutin göz muayene bulgularının yapılması gerektiğini önermekteyiz.
