Metastatic tumors are the most common malignancies of the kidney. We report a rare case of isolated metastatic ocular melanoma to the kidney occurring 20 years after diagnosis.
A 71
-year-old man presented with gross hematuria. He had undergone left enucleation 20 years previously for ocular melanoma and had not required adjuvant therapy. A right upper pole mass was identified on computed tomography and was excised laparoscopically. Pathologic examination revealed
metastatic melanoma
.
Metastatic melanoma
to the kidney is rare. A high index of suspicion must be maintained in any patient with a renal mass and a history of a nonrenal malignancy.

We report a case of bilateral
metastatic melanoma
to the extraocular muscles that simulated thyroid eye disease.
A 71
-year-old man presented with bilateral painless axial proptosis, lid retraction and left gaze restriction. Orbital CT scan demonstrated enlargement of the extraocular muscles with tendon sparing, consistent with thyroid eye disease. However, thyroid function tests and antithyroid antibodies were normal. Systemic review including orbital MRI scan determined the correct diagnosis of
metastatic melanoma
to the orbit.
Metastatic melanoma
to the orbit can simulate thyroid eye disease.
