Objectives: To determine the incidence and clinical and cytologic diagnostic accuracy of vitreoretinal lymphoma (VRL) and to evaluate its clinical features, management, and outcomes in a cohort of patients who underwent diagnostic vitrectomy.
Methods: Retrospective medical record review of 463 diagnostic vitrectomy specimens from 430 patients collected from October 1, 1990, through December 31, 2010, from Vancouver General Hospital and the British Columbia Cancer Agency.
Results: A total of 22 patients were diagnosed as having VRL with a preoperative clinical diagnostic sensitivity of 77%, specificity of 73%, positive predictive value of 13%, and negative predictive value of 98%.
