2. Intraocular lymphoma
Presents with vitreal cells and choroidal abnormality
If lymphoma is suspected, careful systemic workup, including neurological evaluation, should be
performed
If necessary, a vitreous sample must be obtained for diagnostic purpose and IL-10/IL-6 ratio should

be found
There is granulomatous inflammation throughout the uveal tissue, except for the choriocapillaris
The inflammatory cells involved are primarily lymphocytes, epithelioid cells and multinucleated
giant cells
Dalen-Fuchs nodules, which are clumps of lymphocytes and epithelioid cells are found in
approximately one-third of enucleated eyes just behind the retinal pigment epithelium
The retinal pigment epithelium generally remains normal.
