Abstract

Nonhodgkin Lymphoma is a neoplasm which involves central nervous system, eye and visceral organs; occurs after middle age. Eye metastasis in lymphoma is very uncommon on the contrary to leukemias. Signs of ocular lymphoma are painless visual loss, anterior segment inflammation, vitritis, infiltration of the optic nerve head with malignant cells, multiple retina pigment epithelial detachment, retinal vasculitis, retinal necrosis and exudative retinal detachment. Our case is a 22 year old female, referred to our clinic because of visual loss in both eyes at the same time of an intestinal mass resection operation and hystopathologic examination with the diagnosis of lymphoma. Lymphoid cells in vitrectomy specimen and mass on abdominal tomography were observed. Cerebrospinal fluid examination and magnetic resonance imaging of central nervous system were normal. As a result of the investigations the patient was diagnosed as B cell lymphoma with visceral and ocular involvement and systemic chemotheraphy was administered. A good response to the therapy with regression of the intestinal mass and ocular findings was observed. As a conclusion, in this study, the importance of investigating for lymphoma in unknown uveitis and retinal vasculitis is emphasized.

Özet

Nonhodgkin Lenfoma, orta yaşın üzerinde görülen, santral sinir sistemi, göz ve visseral organları tutabilen bir neoplazmadır. Lenfomalarda göz tutulumu, lösemilerin aksine oldukça nadirdir. Oküler lenfoma bulguları; ağrısız görme azalması, ön segment enflamasyonu, vitreusta hücre, retina ve optik sinir başında tümör infiltrasyonu, çok sayıda retina pigment epiteli dekolmanları, retinal vaskülit, retinal nekroz ve eksüdatif retina dekolmanıdır. Olgumuz 22 yaşında genç bir kadın olup, batından kitle rezeksiyonu ile yapılan histopatolojik çalışmalar sonucunda lenfoma tanısı konmasıyla eş zamanlı olarak her iki gözde görme kaybı şikayeti ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Vitre içinde yoğun hücre, vitrektomi sıvısında da lenfoid seriye ait çok yoğun hücre kümeleri izlendi. Batın tomografisinde ince barsakta kitle tespit edildi, kemik iliği aspirasyon materyali,beyin omurilik sıvısı ve beyin manyetik rezonans görüntüleme tetkikleri normal bulundu. Oküler ve visseral tutulumlu lenfoma olarak değerlendirilen ve sistemik kemoterapi uygulanan olgunun batındaki kitlesinde küçülme, oküler bulgularında gerileme ile tedaviye iyi yanıt alındığı izlendi Sonuç olarak, nedeni açıklanamayan uveit ve retinal vaskülitlerde lenfomanın, her zaman ayırıcı tanıda göz önünde bulundurulmasının önemi vurgulandı.
