Abstract |
Cancer-associated retinopathy (CAR) is an uncommon paraneoplastic retinopathy usually associated with small cell lung carcinoma. To our knowledge, there is no previous report in the English literature of CAR syndrome occurring in lymphoma patients. We describe a rare case of CAR syndrome in a 62-year-old male with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) treated with four doses of intravenous immunoglobulin. |
