Abstract

Introduction: Bilateral hemorrhagic hypopyon, also known as candy cane hypopyon, is an extremely rare presentation which we report as a unique case in association with intraocular mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).

Case presentation: A 63-year-old white male presented with a 3-week history of conjunctival injection OS that was unresponsive to erythromycin ointment and topical steroids, in the setting of recently discovered diffuse lymphadenopathy and malaise. On presentation, he was found to have bilateral hemorrhagic hypopyon. Lymph node biopsy was diagnostic of MCL, and subsequent anterior chamber paracentesis confirmed intraocular MCL. The patient was put into remission with intravitreal rituximab injections, systemic chemotherapy, and external beam radiation.

Conclusion: Cases of MCL with ocular involvement typically involve ocular adnexal structures, and seldom involve the uvea. Furthermore, this patient represents an extremely unusual case in his presentation with a hemorrhagic hypopyon.

期刊介绍： This peer-reviewed online-only journal publishes original case reports covering the entire spectrum of ophthalmology, including prevention, diagnosis, treatment, toxicities of therapy, supportive care, quality-of-life, and survivorship issues. The submission of negative results is strongly encouraged. The journal will also accept case reports dealing with the use of novel technologies, both in the arena of diagnosis and treatment. Supplementary material is welcomed. The intent of the journal is to provide clinicians and researchers with a tool to disseminate their personal experiences to a wider public as well as to review interesting cases encountered by colleagues all over the world. Universally used terms can be searched across the entire growing collection of case reports, further facilitating the retrieval of specific information. Following the open access principle, the entire contents can be retrieved at no charge, guaranteeing easy access to this valuable source of anecdotal information at all times.
