Abstract

Intraocular involvement of systemic T-cell lymphomas are uncommon and have been broadly regarded as markers of poor prognosis. We reported two cases of uveitis patients finally diagnosed as systemic T cell lymphoma. Case one is a 19-year-old female presented with fever and liver dysfunction, and was diagnosed as EBV-associated chronic active hepatitis. Fourteen months later, she suffered from recurrent granulomatous anterior uveitis in both eyes, which failed to respond to steroid and immunosuppressant therapy. A mass on the left side of pharynx was found and the final diagnosis was pharynx T cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. After 13 cycles of chemotherapy, her systematic symptoms and uveitis relieved a lot, and eye condition is stable after cataract surgery. Case two is a 37-year-old male complaining bilateral blurred vision and recurrent abdominal pain. Panuveitis was diagnosed and anterior inflammation did not release after topical steroid. During the following days, the patient complained intermittent abdominal pain and fever, with rapidly progressive bilateral visual decrease. Final diagnosis was gallbladder type II enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma. The patient died of multiple organ failure 4 days after operation that was only 26 days after presenting to our hospital. Ocular manifestations as first signs of systemic T cell lymphoma were rare. Diagnosis of lymphoma has to be suspected when patients have systemic manifestations including fever, fatigue, abdominal pain, EBV-associated liver disease, et al., and uveitis fails to respond to steroid therapy.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 June 2017.
All research outputs
#20,429,992
of 22,982,639 outputs
Outputs from BMC Ophthalmology
#2,132
of 2,391 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#275,504
of 316,289 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Ophthalmology
#17
of 29 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,982,639 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,391 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.7. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 316,289 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 29 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
