Primary Vitreoretinal Lymphoma: A Retrospective Study of 20 Eyes

Figure 3

Color fundus photography of primary vitreoretinal lymphoma (PVRL) patients. (a) A 67-year-old male hypertension patient with PVRL presents with large integrated cotton-wool spots, with linear hemorrhagic lesions and punctate yellow-white spots in his right fundus. The retinal arteriolar is attenuated. The patient was misdiagnosed with hypertensive retinopathy. (b) A 52-year-old female PVRL patient shows Purtscher-like retinopathy. Color fundus photography of the left eye reveals multiple confluent cotton-wool spots around the optic nerve head and along the temporal arcades. Superficial dot hemorrhages, microaneurysms, and tiny yellow-white lesions are also visible in the posterior pole. (c) A 48-year-old PVRL male patient has multifocal yellow-white lesions and hemorrhagic loci in the macula of his left eye, resembling age-related macular degeneration.
