title: A case of primary B-cell type non-Hodgkin lymphoma originating in the iris.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a case of primary malignant B-cell type non-Hodgkin lymphoma originating in the iris.
  
  
  METHODS
  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.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The patient was treated with radiotherapy, and the tumorous lesion resolved.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Primary lymphoma localized in the iris only is rare. In this case, diagnostic biopsy and radiotherapy of the iris lymphoma provided good results.
