摘要：

PURPOSE: Large-cell lymphoma can be difficult to diagnose because vitreous biopsies may fail to disclose neoplastic cells. METHODS: We report one such case in which diagnosis was confirmed by subretinal aspiration of yellow-white infiltrates using a pars plana approach. RESULTS: A 67-year-old woman with recurrent bilateral uveitis was diagnosed with large-cell lymphoma by subretinal aspiration of yellow-white infiltrates after two vitreous biopsies and a concurrent retinal biopsy failed to confirm the diagnosis. CONCLUSION: When the suspicion of intraocular lymphoma remains high despite previous negative vitreous biopsies, retinal biopsy and aspiration biopsy of subretinal lesions may enhance the diagnostic yield.
