Primary B-cell lymphoma of the ciliary body with 360° (‘ring’-like) growth pattern

Abstract

Sir, There are few reports of anterior uveal non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL), which mainly involve the iris.1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Uveal lymphomas affecting almost exclusively the ciliary body (CB) are extremely rare. We describe a case of B-NHL with 360° infiltration of the CB without significant iris or choroidal involvement. To our knowledge, such a case of CB lymphoma with a ‘ring-like' pattern mimicking a melanoma has not been described previously.
