Abstract
<br>A 64-year-old caucasian male, with a left eye choroidal nevus, was diagnosed with a nodular cutaneous melanoma of the head, which was radically excised. He experienced a metastatic relapse in the lungs, which was treated for 2 years with nivolumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor of the programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) receptor. The patient has had annual follow-ups of his choroidal nevus. At the control 2 years follow-up after the start of nivolumab, the nevus unexpectedly disappeared. To our knowledge, this is the second reported case in the literature of choroidal nevus disappearance associated with PD-1 treatment and the first-ever reported case in Sweden.<br>
