VOGT–KOYANAGI–HARADA-LIKE UVEITIS FOLLOWED BY MELANOMA-ASSOCIATED RETINOPATHY WITH FOCAL CHORIORETINAL ATROPHY AND CHOROIDAL NEOVASCULARIZATION IN A PATIENT WITH METASTATIC CUTANEOUS MELANOMA

To report a case of Vogt–Koyanagi–Harada-like uveitis followed by melanoma-associated retinopathy with focal chorioretinal atrophy and subsequent choroidal neovascularization in a patient with metastatic cutaneous melanoma. METHOD: Case report. Main outcome measures include external photography, anterior segment photography, ophthalmoscopic examination, fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, spectral domain optical coherence tomography, optical coherence tomography angiography, and electroretinography. RESULTS: A 68-year-old man with a history cutaneous melanoma presented with Vogt–Koyanagi–Harada-like uveitis. Work-up revealed a pelvic mass, which was excised and found to be metastatic melanoma. Two years later, the patient developed melanoma-associated retinopathy with focal chorioretinal atrophy and adjacent choroidal neovascularization. CONCLUSION: Patients with metastatic cutaneous melanoma can develop distinct and sequential paraneoplastic ocular complications. Onset of a Vogt–Koyanagi–Harada-like uveitis may be a good prognostic factor for survival in patients with metastatic cutaneous melanoma.
