Objective: To report two cases of concomitant choroidal melanoma and intraocular non-Hodgkin lymphoma in two patients.
Design: Case report.
Participants: Two patients with yellow creamy infiltrates in fundo.
Intervention: Both patients had a complete ophthalmologic evaluation and histology was obtained after enucleation of the affected eye.
Main outcome measures: 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.
