Sažetak
Primary vitreoretinal lymphoma (PVRL) is a rare subset of central nervous system lymphoma occurring primarily in the vitreous and retina. Often presenting as a masquerade syndrome mimicking infectious or non-infectious uveitis, PVRL presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. A vitreal or retinal biopsy is essential for diagnosis. This paper reviews recent advances and updates in the diagnosis and treatment of PVRL with a focus on intravitreal chemotherapy. Current diagnostic techniques for PVRL are demanding and detailed clinical history, examination, ocular and central nervous system imaging with immunohistochemistry, fl ow cytometry, molecular and genetic analysis are needed. In the last few years, local intravitreal treatment in cases with isolated PVRL is the topic of many published papers, however, the number of patients involved is small and treatment recommendations are not standardized and unique.
