PURPOSE: To report the clinicopathologic features of a patient with AIDS and clinically regressed systemic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who subsequently developed lymphomatous infiltration of the optic nerve and occlusion of the central retinal vein in both eyes.
METHODS: The eyes of this patient were examined ophthalmologically and by fluorescein angiography. The eyes, brain, and body were obtained after death and studied by light microscopy.
RESULTS: Ophthalmic examination and fluorescein angiography revealed optic nerve swelling and central retinal vein occlusion first in the left eye and shortly thereafter in the right eye. Postmortem histopathologic examination showed dense infiltration of both optic nerves by lymphoma as well as necrotizing vasculitis involving the retinal vessels near the left optic nerve head. Examination of the brain revealed lymphomatous involvement in the paraventricular region with associated necrosis and inflammation. No bone marrow recurrence or other residual systemic lymphoma was present.
CONCLUSION: This case demonstrates that infiltrative optic neuropathy may occur as the sole ocular manifestation of disease recurrence in a patient with systemic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma otherwise thought to be in clinical remission.
