Purpose: This report aims to describe a case of bilateral, multifocal neurosensory retinal detachments that developed during erdafitinib therapy for metastatic urothelial carcinoma. Methods: A case report with color fundus imaging and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography imaging is presented. Results: A 50-year-old man with metastatic urothelial carcinoma had an unremarkable baseline ophthalmic examination prior to starting erdafitinib. At 3-month follow up, an examination revealed bilateral, multifocal retinal detachments. Because the patient was asymptomatic and erdafitinib was the only drug to which his tumor had responded, he was kept on the medication with close ophthalmic monitoring. Conclusions: Erdafitinib, a fibroblast growth factor receptor inhibitor, can cause bilateral, multifocal retinal detachments. Continuation of erdafitinib may be considered in patients without significant visual impairment when the overall benefit of the medication appears to outweigh the risks.

CONTEXT: Meigs' syndrome consists of a benign ovarian tumor accompanied by ascites and hydrothorax. Elevated serum CA 125 levels in postmenopausal women with solid adnexal masses, ascites and pleural effusion are highly suggestive for malignant ovarian tumor. However, patients with Meigs' syndrome can also have elevated serum CA 125 levels. The authors report a case of Meigs' syndrome with elevated CA 125 level. OBJECTIVE: This is a case report of Meigs' syndrome with elevated CA 125 level. CASE REPORT: A 65-year-old Brazilian woman had presented progressive dyspnea, weight loss and decline in general condition over the 7 months preceding admission to our service. In another hospital, the patient had been submitted to thoracic drainage due to pleural effusion. With recurrence of the pleural effusion and increase in abdominal volume due to ascites and a pelvic mass, the patient sought our service. Transvaginal ultrasound showed an extensive adnexal solid mass of 16.4 x 10.8 cm located in the pelvis without exact limits, and the serum CA 125 level was elevated. With a preoperative diagnosis of ovarian carcinoma, the patient was submitted to exploratory laparotomy, which revealed a left ovarian tumor. The frozen section diagnosis was thecoma. Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed. The histology of the specimen confirmed the diagnosis of thecoma. The patient was asymptomatic with a normal serum CA 125 level 20 months after the operation.

Angiosarcoma is a rare but highly malignant tumor arising from vascular endothelial cells. Angiosarcoma commonly arises from the heart, liver, breast, and skin including the scalp. Angiosarcoma metastasizing to the lungs can present as either pneumothorax, hemothorax, or pleural effusions. They can rarely present as rapidly enlarging thin-walled pulmonary cysts. A review of the literature is included.
