Cancer-Associated Retinopathy Presenting as Panuveitis Secondary to Minimally Invasive Follicular Thyroid Carcinoma

<b>Purpose:</b> To describe a case of cancer-associated retinopathy (CAR) secondary to follicular thyroid carcinoma. <b>Methods:</b> A single retrospective case was evaluated. <b>Results:</b> A 68-year-old woman presented with floaters and decreased vision in the right eye and was found to have panuveitis. The left eye subsequently developed panuveitis 6 months later, ultimately resulting in retinal atrophy. Extensive investigations, including vitreous biopsies, imaging, and positron emission tomography, led to a diagnosis of CAR secondary to minimally invasive follicular thyroid carcinoma with serology positive for anti-enolase, anti-HSP60, and anti-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. <b>Conclusions:</b> Cases of CAR secondary to minimally invasive follicular thyroid carcinoma are rare. Ensuring an early diagnosis and promptly initiating treatment, with a goal of preserving sight, are imperative.
