Melanoma-associated retinopathy and recurrent exudative retinal detachments in a patient with choroidal melanoma

Melanoma-associated retinopathy associated with intranasal melanoma

“…Earlier MAR cases have been exclusively associated with cutaneous melanomas except for a few cases associated with a uveal melanoma [12][13][14]. We present a case of MAR associated with an intranasal melanoma that is a rare site and accounts for less than 1% of all malignant melanomas [15].…”

Paraneoplastic vitelliform retinopathy associated with metastatic choroidal melanoma

“…Non-absorbable plugs made of silicon are the most commonly used types and are relatively safe with minimal complications. 1 We report a case of corneal ulcer secondarily to localized irritation from a fragmented cap of silicon PP in a patient with DES.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5] In four cases, both antiretinal antibodies and ERG abnormalities were found. 1,[3][4][5] In one case, antiretinal antibodies were detected; however, ERG was not performed. 4 In the other four cases, neither antibodies nor ERG were tested.…”

“…Only three cases associated with choroidal melanoma, [1][2][3] five cases with cutaneous melanoma, [3][4][5] and one case with metastatic melanoma of an unknown primary site 2 have been reported yet. Here we describe a patient with metastatic choroidal melanoma and paraneoplastic vitelliform fundus findings.…”

Cancer‐retina antigens as potential paraneoplastic antigens in melanoma‐associated retinopathy

“…[3][4][5][6][7] Melanoma-associated retinopathy (MAR) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome in patients with metastatic melanoma characterized by visual disorders and the presence of serum AA against retinal proteins. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] MAR is closely related to cancer-associated retinopathy, 15 which often occurs in lung cancer patients but differs in ophthalmological symptoms and probably in the antigens recognized, which are unknown today (for review see Ref. 16).…”
