Abstract:
An isolated metastasis of the vitreous body from a malignant cutaneous melanoma without involvement of the choroid is an extremely rare occurrence. We report on the case of a 59-year-old female patient who presented with a vitreous body metastasis during systemic treatment with the anti-cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen (anti-CTLA 4) antibody ipilimumab. This case report underlines the diagnostic difficulties in such cases and points out the risk of metastasis in immune-privileged sites under systemic immunotherapy.
