Abstract
Diagnosis of PIOL is difficult but can be improved. Severe bilateral vitreitis in an elderly patient is a characteristic finding of PIOL. Alcohol fixation may jeopardize the identification of PIOL cells in the vitreous sample. Optimal handling of the vitreous specimens and examination of the slides by an experienced cytopathologist are critical in the diagnostic workup of PIOL.
