Abstract
Vitreoretinal lymphoma (VRL), although a rare disease, is the most common intraocular lymphoma and may involve the vitreous, retina, subretinal pigment epithelium, and the optic nerve. Indeed, 36 of 45 VRL and two of 40 uveitis eyes were identified as VRL using this approach, resulting in a sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 95% for VRL. Guan and colleagues provide significant supplemental value for VRL diagnosis in patients where there are retinal findings, by combining highly sensitive and specific VRL-associated SD-OCT features, which have higher diagnostic value than looking on any of these features alone. Of them, 26 (58%) cases had primary VRL, nine (20%) cases had VRL associated with primary CNSL, and 10 (22%) cases had VRL secondary to lymphoma of other organs. [Extracted from the article]
