Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a neoplastic process of the lymphatic system in which tumors develop from lymphocytes. The absence of Reed-Sternberg cells differentiates NHL from Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Mantle cell lymphoma is a mature B-cell NHL, typically with an aggressive course. Manifestations of intraocular mantle cell lymphoma include anterior uveitis, morphologic changes to the uvea, vitritis, intraocular masses, as well as subretinal or choroidal infiltrates.
