BILATERAL DIFFUSE UVEAL MELANOCYTIC PROLIFERATION: A CASE REPORT

Abstract

BDUMP is a peculiar paraneoplastic syndrome in the setting of metastatic ovarian cancer, where antigens from the retinal pigment epithelium, iris and choroidal melanocytes cross-react with ovarian tumor cell antibodies that are circulating in the serum. Plasmapheresis can decrease the concentrations of the antibodies, maintain reasonable functional vision and improve the quality of life.
