Leukemic iris infiltration. 1980

K A Zakka, and R D Yee, and N Shorr, and G S Smith, and T H Pettit, and R Y Foos

A 7-year-old boy with acute lymphocytic leukemia developed iris infiltration, blood-streaked hypopyon, and high intraocular pressure. A diagnostic anterior chamber paracentesis was performed, which provided a cytologic diagnosis. The aspirate was studied by both the millipore filter technique with Papanicolaou stain and a dried smear using the Wright's stain. Wright's stain provided more distinct cellular details. Irradiation of the anterior segment resulted in clearing of leukemic iris infiltration, hypopyon, and glaucoma.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
