Abstract. Purpose:To report cases of hematopoietic malignancy with involvement of the fundus that could be diagnosed after polymerase chain reaction(PCR)of aspirated aqueous humor. Cases:Both were males aged 47 and 33 years respectively. Adult T-cell leukemia(ATL)was present in one case and acute myeloid leukemia in the other. One case showed fundus lesion simulating cytomegalovirus(CMV)retinitis. The other case showed retinal hemorrhage and exudates. In the first case, PCR of aqueous was negative for all herpesvirus species, leading to the diagnosis of ocular infiltration of ATL. In the second case, PCR showed CMV in the aqueous. Vitreal injection of ganciclovir was followed by improvement. Conclusion:PCR of aspirated aqueous was useful in the diagnosis in 2 cases of hematopoietic malignancy with fundus involvement.
