Abstract
A 64-year-old female patient with a history of metastatic breast cancer presented with bilateral deterioration of visual acuity over a period of several weeks. Examination revealed patchy fundus pigmentation, serous retinal detachment and cataract in both eyes. After diagnosis of a bilateral diffuse uveal melanocytic proliferation (BDUMP) and due to disease progression, a course of plasmapheresis three times a week over a period of 2 weeks was initiated. Apart from the occurrence of peripheral edemas the therapy was well-tolerated by the patient. Treatment success could not be evaluated because the patient died a short time later. This is the first reported case of BDUMP due to breast cancer.
