Accept poster if oral is not possible ? | Yes |
Purpose | To define the clinical manifestations in uveitis patients with masquerade disease
|
Methods | Multicenter retrospective review from major uveitis refer centers in Taiwan between 2008 to 2017 |
Results | 77 masquerade uveitis patients. 29 infection masquerades (37.6%) and 39 tumor masquerades (50.6%). The range of age in our tumor masquerades was from 18 to 90 years. The major timing of making correct diagnosis was by clinical picture, followed by history/system review and by treatment test |
Conclusion | This is the largest case series review of uveitis masquerades in Taiwan to date. Tumor masquerades and infection masquerades are both common in Taiwan. Primary intraocular B cell lymphoma is the most commonly seen masquerader. Treatment response is also an important test for reaching the final diagnosis |
