Dabrafenib and Trametinib in BRAF Mutant Metastatic Conjunctival Melanoma

2019 
Conjunctival melanoma is a rare primary ocular tumor. So far, no standard treatment exhists for metastatic disease. Similarly to cutaneous melanoma, up to 50% of conjunctival melanomas harbor BRAF mutations. The most common is represented by V600E. Combined therapy with BRAF and MEK inhibitors is approved for BRAF mutant cutaneous metastatic melanomas. Herein, we report a case of a 70-years old patient with a metastatic conjunctival melanoma harboring V600E BRAF mutation succesfully treated with dabrafenib and trametinib.
