ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To describe a patient with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma in remission on maintenance nivolumab therapy who developed late-onset ocular toxicity manifesting as creamy chorioretinal lesions with exudative retinal detachment concerning for choroidal metastasis.METHOD:
Case report. Main outcome measures include ophthalmoscopic examination, fundus photography, fundus autofluorescence, fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, spectral domain optical coherence tomography, and B-scan ultrasonography.RESULTS:
A 49-year-old woman with a medical history of metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma in remission for two years after immunotherapy with four cycles of ipilimumab and nivolumab followed by maintenance nivolumab infusions developed lesions concerning for choroidal metastases in her right eye. Optical coherence tomography of the lesions revealed a bacillary layer detachment containing possible fibrinous exudate organized into layers and underlying choroidal thickening with chorioretinal folds. Later, choroidal thickening and chorioretinal folds also occurred in the left eye. Given that pan imaging detected no metastasis and the posterior segment abnormalities resolved after cessation of nivolumab and treatment with systemic corticosteroids, the patient was diagnosed with nivolumab-induced Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada-like uveitis.CONCLUSION:
This case expands on the clinical spectrum of nivolumab-induced Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada-like uveitis, a condition that can also present with bacillary layer detachment mimicking an early choroidal metastasis, manifest asymmetrically in each eye, and develop after long-standing treatment.
