Abstract
Diagnosis of intraocular lymphoma is difficult and should be considere d in middle-aged or older patients with a chronic uveitis. Many explor ations (lumbar punctures, brain imaging and vitrectomies) may be neede d before correct diagnosis is made. We report the case of a 50-year-ol d woman with an intraocular lymphoma for whom the diagnosis was confir med by a vitrectomy.
