摘要：

PURPOSE: To describe vitreitis in a patient with Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia. METHODS: Case report and review of pertinent literature. RESULTS: A 90-year-old man developed vitreitis 10 years after a systemic diagnosis of a lymphoproliferative disorder. Numerous small, normal-appearing lymphocytes were seen on pathologic examination of the vitreous. He developed worsening lymphadenopathy and was diagnosed with Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia after systemic review. CONCLUSION: Chronic lymphoproliferative diseases such as Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia may cause vitreitis. (Am J Ophthalmol 1998; 126:314-315.. (C) 1998 by Elsevier Science Inc.
