Abstract
To describe vitreitis in a patient with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia. Case report and review of pertinent literature. 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 Waldenström's macroglobulinemia after systemic review. Chronic lymphoproliferative diseases such as Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia may cause vitreitis.
