Concomitant choroidal melanoma and non-hodgkin lymphoma in two adult patients: case report.
OBJECTIVE
To report two cases of concomitant choroidal melanoma and intraocular non-Hodgkin lymphoma in two patients.


METHODS
Case report.


METHODS
Two patients with yellow creamy infiltrates in fundo.


METHODS
Both patients had a complete ophthalmologic evaluation and histology was obtained after enucleation of the affected eye.


METHODS
Histology findings of the enucleated eyes.


RESULTS
One patient showed a choroidal melanoma with a primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma located solely in the affected eye. The other patient showed a systemic non-Hodgkin lymphoma with ocular manifestations concomitant with a choroidal melanoma.


CONCLUSIONS
In the presence of yellow creamy infiltrates one should include a choroidal lymphoma in the differential diagnosis even if there is another clear pathologic condition. Furthermore in those cases systemic disease should be excluded.
