Vitreoretinal lymphoma following primary testicular lymphoma: Report of two cases and review of the literature.

To report two cases of vitreoretinal lymphoma that developed following primary testicular lymphoma and review the literature. Two men, one age 66 and the other age 77, both with a history of diffuse large B-cell testicular lymphoma, diagnosed one and three years previously, respectively, presented with vitritis and yellow-white subretinal infiltrates. Diagnostic vitrectomy in both cases revealed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Systemic work up in both cases showed no evidence of disease relapse elsewhere. Each were treated with intravitreal methotrexate injections. Vitreoretinal lymphoma can occur following primary testicular lymphoma, and may mimic primary vitreoretinal lymphoma. Monitoring of patients with a history of testicular lymphoma with regular dilated fundus examinations should be considered. © 2021 Published by Elsevier Inc.
