Retinal biopsy from an elderly woman with suspected ocular lymphoma

The patient had multiple foci of markedly thickened retina on exam. Ophthomologists were able to obtain a relatively large retinal biopsy. We did not find lymphoma in this case, and infections of many sorts were ruled out. But the ophthalmologists wanted an opinion as to whether retinal vasculitis was present. I wonder whether the threshold for calling vasculitis in the retina should be lower than in other tissues. Your input in the comments section would be greatly appreciated.Low power viewMedium power showing diffuse edemaArterioles with focus of intramural inflammatory infiltrate on right side of right vessel
