Purpose: We describe the case of an 80-year-old man with bilateral minocycline-induced retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) hyperpigmentation, which initially masqueraded as AMD. Secondarily, using multimodal imaging features, we propose a mechanism for the development of minocycline-induced RPE hyperpigmentation.

Observations: The patient was referred with concern for AMD given the presence of macular drusenoid deposits on optical coherence tomography.

A 75-year-old woman on hemodialysis for end-stage renal failure due to polycystic kidney disease developed dark spots on her limbs. She had been treated for extended spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli bacteremia by a rectovaginal fistula and was on long-term oral minocycline (cumulative dose 45 g). Physical examination revealed dark patches on her forearms and lower legs but no trunk hyperpigmentation or visual impairment.
