Anaplastic Large-Cell Lymphoma With Vitreous Humor Involvement.

Purpose: To describe a case of T-cell lymphoma with bilateral vitreous involvement.

Methods

A case report was reviewed, and a literature review, including search terms such as "anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL)" and "T-cell lymphoma with ocular involvement", was performed.

Results

A 56-year-old man presented with slurred speech, left-sided weakness, and floaters in his right eye. He was found to have an enhancing right frontal lobe mass with biopsy positive for ALCL. The right eye demonstrated 2+ vitreous cell, with a vitreous biopsy consistent with ALCL. His floaters resolved, and the patient was asymptomatic until he developed floaters in his left eye 1½ years later. A subsequent vitreous biopsy revealed recurrence of ALCL in the fellow eye.

Conclusions

ALCL is a rare T-cell lymphoma uncommonly reported as having vitreous infiltration.
