Résumé

To report a case of bilateral diffuse uveal melanocytic proliferation over 30 months follow-up. Multimodal imaging including ultra-wide-field color fundus photography, blue light fundus autofluorescence, swept-source optical coherence tomography, fluorescein angiography, and indocyanine green angiography. A 49-year-old woman presented with decreased vision 2 months after bladder cancer surgery. Exudative retinal detachment and leopard spot pattern chorioretinopathy were observed in the right eye. Chemotherapy and cystectomy were initiated. Progressive bilateral vision loss occurred with melanocytic proliferation, choroidal thickening, subretinal fibrosis, fluid extravasation, rapid development of mature cataract, multiple iris cysts, and rubeosis, despite plasmapheresis and IV immunoglobulins. After cataract surgery, massive fibrin reaction resulted in a ciliolenticular block. One year later, positron emission tomography-computed tomography revealed absence of metastases. At Month 23, choroidal thickness increased in line with tumor progression. Palliative systemic therapy was initiated. Secondary macular neovascularization was treated with intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor injections. Visual acuity was light perception in the right eye and 20/200 in the left eye at last follow-up. Bilateral diffuse uveal melanocytic proliferation results in progressive melanocyte proliferation and exudation, leading to severe visual loss. In our case, visual acuity was preserved at a low level in one eye under continuous systemic treatment. Systemic corticosteroids are recommended for cataract surgery in the setting of bilateral diffuse uveal melanocytic proliferation to prevent massive fibrin reaction. Intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor injections may be indicated if secondary macular neovascularization develops.
