Abstract

PURPOSE: To describe a unique case of a white male who presented with reduced visual acuity, growing bilateral iris pigment epithelial (IPE) cysts and granulomatous panuveitis, probably related to Hodgkin's lymphoma. OBSERVATIONS: The granulomatous panuveitis was reactive to corticosteroids, but the IPE cysts were not. After extensive work-up, the patient was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) mixed cellularity type with cervical and mediastinal lymph node involvement. After starting chemotherapy, the IPE cysts shrank. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: To our knowledge, IPE cysts have not been described in HL before. Therefore, this case can contribute to our knowledge of the relation between IPE cysts and hematological malignancy.
