Korean J Radiol. 2013 Jan-Feb;14(1):122-5. doi: 10.3348/kjr.2013.14.1.122. Epub 2012 Dec 28.

Abstract

We report a case of intraocular lymphoma in a 65-year-old man, 15 months after cardiac transplantation. On Magnetic Resonance (MR) images, the iris and the anterior chamber of the right eye were found to be involved with an enhancing soft-tissue lesion. To our knowledge, this is the first case of post-transplantation intraocular lymphoma evaluated with MR imaging.

Keywords: Lymphoma; Orbit, MR; Orbit, neoplasms; Posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorder.
