Abstract

Primary vitreoretinal lymphoma is a great masquerader and provides a diagnostic challenge.It is most frequently misdiagnosed as a chronic uveitis. Steroid treatment for presumed uveitis can interfere with the correct diagnosis of vitreoretinal lymphoma. Herein, we present a case of primary vitreoretinal lymphoma in which the correct diagnosis was delayed by short-term steroids until 2 years later.
