PURPOSE
To report a case of primary malignant B-cell type non-Hodgkin lymphoma originating in the iris.
DESIGN
Interventional case report.
METHODS
An 83-year-old woman presented with anterior uveitis resulting from primary malignant lymphoma in the iris. Ultrasound biomicroscopy and indocyanine green angiography using a scanning laser ophthalmoscope showed abnormalities in the iris. Diagnostic biopsy of the iris revealed B-cell type non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
RESULT
The patient was treated with radiotherapy, and the tumorous lesion resolved.
CONCLUSION
Primary lymphoma localized in the iris only is rare. In this case, diagnostic biopsy and radiotherapy of the iris lymphoma provided good results.
