    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatric Oncology
    • Hematology

    Background:

    • Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a common childhood cancer.
    • Ocular complications can occur in patients with ALL, even during remission.
    • Hypopyon, a collection of white blood cells in the anterior chamber, can be a sign of ocular inflammation or infiltration.

    Observation:

    • A seven-year-old girl in remission from ALL developed a monocular hypopyon.
    • Initial treatment with topical and subtenons steroids was successful but the hypopyon recurred.
    • Recurrence prompted diagnostic paracentesis.

    Findings:

    • Diagnostic paracentesis revealed leukemic cells in the aqueous humor.
    • Aqueous lactate dehydrogenase levels were normal.

  • Leukemic ocular infiltration can mimic neoplastic and inflammatory conditions.

    • Implications:

    • Early and accurate diagnosis of ocular leukemia is crucial for effective treatment.
    • Paracentesis combined with lactate dehydrogenase assay is a valuable diagnostic tool for ocular leukemia.
    • This case highlights the importance of considering leukemic recurrence in patients with unexplained ocular findings.
