Abstract:
Primary uveal lymphoma is a type of intra-ocular lymphoma. Unlike the intra-ocular lymphomas involving the retina and vitreous, primary uveal lymphoma generally has a low-grade nature and an indolent clinical course. It is a relatively rare condition, and the diagnosis can be challenging. We present a rare case of primary uveal lymphoma involving the choroid, ciliary body, iris and conjunctiva that was successfully treated with radiotherapy and achieved full remission.
