title: Metastatic anterior chamber non-Hodgkin lymphoma in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To alert ophthalmologists to the possibility of metastatic anterior chamber intraocular non-Hodgkin lymphoma in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
  
  
  METHODS
  We examined a 19-year-old man with AIDS who had an anterior uveitis with pseudohypopyon and a history of 2 months of malaise. A specimen of the lesion was obtained with a 25-gauge needle for pathologic examination.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Systemic exploration showed hepatomegaly. Abdominal computed tomography showed multiple lesions in the liver and spleen. Fine-needle aspiration disclosed a high-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The result of a fine-needle aspiration obtained from a lesion in the anterior chamber was consistent with the same diagnosis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  An anterior chamber pseudohypopyon with uveitis can be the manifesting sign of a systemic lymphoma in a patient with AIDS and requires a thorough systemic evaluation.
