ResumoHodgkin's lymphoma (HL) is a disease that originates from lymphoid tissues and accounts for less than 1% of neoplasms. As lymph nodes are distributed throughout the body, lymphomas may manifest with involvement in various areas. This can cause difficulties in diagnosis as well as delayed treatment. The incidence of lymphoproliferative ocular diseases has increased, but intraocular involvement is a rare finding in lymphomas and late diagnosis is due to nonspecific signs. Ocular involvement is more prevalent in non-Hodgkin lymphomas. There are some documented cases of HL with ocular involvement, most of which are found after diagnosis of the disease. Although rare, there are also patients who have ocular symptoms and are later diagnosed with HL. Ocular involvement may occur through direct involvement of the choroid and retina by metastasis, lymphomatous infiltrate, paraneoplastic vasculitis, or complications of HL treatment. The most common symptoms are painless vision loss, photophobia and ocular hyperemia. Due to the insidiousness and ability to simulate other conditions, diagnostic delay is common. Thus, HL should be included as a differential diagnosis of pathologies with ocular inflammation
