Purpose: To report a case of necrotic uveal melanoma presenting as orbital cellulitis with an intraocular hemorrhage.
Observations: A 61 year-old non-verbal male presented with a two-week history of right eyelid swelling and erythema unresponsive to antibiotics. In addition to these signs of orbital cellulitis, he presented with an opaque media precluding fundus visualization. He was later found to have a collar-button shaped mass consistent with uveal melanoma on B scan ultrasonography during an exam under anesthesia. The patient underwent enucleation with histopathology confirming a necrotic uveal melanoma.
Conclusion And Importance: This case demonstrates how necrotic uveal melanoma can present as orbital cellulitis and the importance of keeping the diagnosis on the differential.

A program focused on pathogenesis, clinical trial design, and nonpharmacologic mind-body therapy for spondyloarthritis (SpA) was presented at the Spondylitis Association of America Unmet Needs Conference IV. SpA pathogenesis is incompletely understood but involves a complex set of drivers, including genetics, biomechanical stress, and microbial factors. Affected tissues may include axial and peripheral joints, entheses, skin, uvea, and intestines.
