Abstract
Ocular manifestations of systemic malignancy may precede the diagnosis of cancer; some intraocular lymphomas can present initially as chronic uveitis. The two cases described were found to have underlying carcinomas of the lung and oropharynx. Both presented with chronic uveitis and decreased visual acuity that were not responding to antiinflammatory therapy.
