Abstract

IMPORTANCE: Although the diagnosis of vitreoretinal lymphoma (VRL) can be challenging, early detection is critical for visual prognosis. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the spectrum of optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings in patients with biopsy-proven VRL and correlate these features with clinical parameters. DESIGN: Retrospective cross-sectional study SETTING: Multicenter chart review from 13 retina, uveitis and ocular oncology clinics worldwide over an 11-year period (2008-2019). PARTICIPANTS: Patients with a diagnosis of biopsy-proven VRL imaged with OCT at presentation EXPOSURE: The ocular information, systemic information and multimodal retinal imaging findings were collected and studied. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Characteristics of VRL on OCT RESULTS: A total of 182 eyes of 115 patients (63 women, mean age 65 years) were included in this study. The disease was bilateral in 81 (70%) patients, and mean baseline visual acuity (VA) was 0.2±0.89 logMAR (Snellen equivalent of 20/32). At baseline, 38 patients (33%) presented with isolated ocular involvement, 54 (45%) with associated central nervous system (CNS) involvement and 11 (10%) with other systemic lymphomatous involvement and an additional 12 (10%) patients presented with both CNS and other systemic involvement. On OCT, tumor infiltration was identified in various retinal layers including lesions in the sub-retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) compartment (91% of eyes), the subretinal compartment (43% of eyes) and the intraretinal compartment (7% of eyes). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: OCT analysis of eyes with vitreoretinal lymphoma identified 3 main regions of retinal infiltration. Sub-RPE location, with or without subretinal infiltration, was the most common pattern of involvement whereas isolated intraretinal infiltration was the least common.
