A 20-year-old woman, who was first diagnosed as having acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) at age 5 years and had several episodes of central nervous system leukemia relapse, developed leukemic involvement in the left eye. Following local application of a 60Co scleral plaque, these ocular lesions disappeared and function of the eye was restored.
