Abstract

Purpose: To report a patient with METASTATIC CUTANEOUS MELANOMA presenting as INTERMEDIATE UVEITIS.Patient and Finding: We examined a 49 year old man with Clark's level IV cutaneous melanoma and metastasis who was treated for bilateral INTERMEDIATE UVEITIS. Biomicroscopic examination disclosed a normal anterior segment and vitreous organization with presence of RBCs and some non-pigmented cells in both eyes. Funduscopy disclosed a retinal metastasis in the right eye, but vitreous organization precluded visualization of the retina in the left eye. The first diagnostic vitrectomy was negative for malignant cells in the left eye. However progressive worsening of the condition persuaded us to repeat vitrectomy in the left eye and to perfrom it in the right eye. Harvested vitreous samples were positive for malignant melanoma cells in both eyes.Conclusion: METASTATIC CUTANEOUS MELANOMA to the VITREOUS CAVITY is exceedingly rare and may masquerade as INTERMEDIATE UVEITIS. It should be considered in the differential diagnosis of unusual uveitides and masquerade syndromes.
