title: Systemic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma simulating primary intraocular lymphoma.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe a case of an unusual presentation of systemic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with clinical and histopathologic findings closely resembling that of primary intraocular lymphoma.
  
  
  METHODS
  Observational case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 58-year-old woman with a history of treated systemic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma presented 2 years later with a subretinal lesion and intraocular inflammation in her left eye.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Diagnostic enucleation and histopathologic studies revealed findings consistent with primary intraocular lymphoma including intraretinal, subretinal, and subretinal pigment epithelial tumor cells without involvement of the choroid.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We conclude that systemic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma can present remotely with findings resembling primary intraocular lymphoma and should be included in the differential diagnosis of intraocular inflammation and subretinal infiltrates.
