PURPOSE: To report a case of primary malignant B-cell type non-Hodgkin lymphoma originating in the iris. DESIGN: Interventional case report. METHODS: An 83-year-old woman presented with anterior uveitis resulting from primary malignant lymphoma in the iris. Ultrasound biomicroscopy and indocyanine green angiography using a scanning laser ophthalmoscope showed abnormalities in the iris. Diagnostic biopsy of the iris revealed B-cell type non-Hodgkin lymphoma. RESULT: The patient was treated with radiotherapy, and the tumorous lesion resolved. CONCLUSION: Primary lymphoma localized in the iris only is rare. In this case, diagnostic biopsy and radiotherapy of the iris lymphoma provided good results.
