Pseudovitelliform Subfoveal Deposit in Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia.

BACKGROUND

Waldenström's macroglobulinemia may be complicated by retinal hemorrhages, retinal vein occlusion, serous macular detachment or macular edema. We report a patient with pseudovitelliform subfoveal deposit complicating Waldenström's macroglobulinemia.

CASE REPORT: A 56-year-old man presented with hyperviscosity syndrome due to Waldenström's macroglobulinemia. After systemic therapy, a large serous retinal detachment persisted in the left eye. A pseudovitelliform subfoveal deposit was observed in the right eye.

CONCLUSION

Pseudovitelliform subfoveal deposits may be part of the spectrum of ocular complications in Waldenström's macroglobulinemia. They could be due to accumulation of macroglobulins.
