Malignant masquerade syndromes.

- Abstract
Some malignant diseases may masquerade in the eye as uveitis. The purpose of the talk is to give an overview of the possibilities of diagnosis and treatment of the recognized malignant masquerade syndromes. Among these, the most frequent is intraocular lymphoma, but also other haematological malignancies such as leukaemia, thrombocytopenia, macroglobulinaemia or other malignancies such as melanoma or retinoblastoma, and many others, are also included. Diagnosis of masquerade syndromes should be considered in all patients with idiopathic corticosteroid‐resistant chronic uveitis. Timely diagnosis and treatment may in case of malignant masquerade syndromes improve prognosis and sometimes gain control over this potentially lethal disease.
