Résumé
Intraocular cutaneous melanoma metastasis (ICMM) is a rare event, accounting for only 5% of all metastases to the eye and orbit. The vast majority of such metastases primarily affect the choroid and vitreoretinal structures. Only three previous cases of predominant lens structure ICMM have been reported in the literature. Histological examination, in all three past cases, was performed on enucleation specimens of painful blind eyes. We present the first case of ICMM to the lens capsule in a comfortable, seeing, pseudophakic eye. This was histologically confirmed following diagnostic pars plana vitrectomy and capsulotomy, and was found to be associated with background granulomatous intraocular inflammation. The potential causes of the granulomatous inflammation are discussed.
