Abstract
Bilateral diffuse uveal melanocytic proliferation (BDUMP) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome characterized by multiple subretinal, round, red patches in the retinal pigment epithelium; hyperfluorescence on fluorescein angiography; multiple elevated pigmented and nonpigmented uveal melanocytic tumors with diffuse uveal tract thickening; exudative retinal detachments; and rapid cataract development leading to progressive loss of vision. BDUMP is predictive of an occult or undiagnosed systemic malignancies and a marker for poor prognosis. The index chapter describes an illustrative case of BDUMP with multimodal imaging.
