Immunophenotypic characterization of an unusual T-cell lymphoma presenting as anterior uveitis. A clinicopathologic case report.

A 54-year-old woman presented with a unilateral, anterior uveitis that progressed to hypopyon over 4 months despite treatment with steroids. One hundred percent of the cells collected from aspirates of the anterior chamber of the affected eye were morphologically large granular lymphocytes. The aspirated cells were demonstrated by flow cytometry to be a uniform population of T lymphocytes with a diploid genome and an S fraction of 2.
