Biomicroscopic examination disclosed a normal anterior segment and vitreous organization with red blood cells (RBC) and some non-pigmented cells in both eyes. Funduscopy disclosed a retinal metastasis in the right eye, but vitreous organization precluded visualization of the retina in the left eye.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The first diagnostic vitrectomy was negative for malignant cells in the left eye. However, progressive worsening of the condition persuaded us to repeat vitrectomy in the left eye and to do it in the right eye too. Vitreous samples were positive for malignant melanoma cells in both eyes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Metastatic cutaneous melanoma to the vitreous cavity is exceedingly rare and may masquerade as intermediate uveitis.
