OBJECTIVES: Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is an autoimmune demyelinating disease rarely associated with malignancy. We report the clinical, MRI, immunopathology, and treatment response in a person with MOGAD and melanoma.
METHODS: This is a case report of a person with a multidisciplinary evaluation at a tertiary referral center.
RESULTS: A 52-year-old man presented with progressive encephalomyelitis that led to identification of metastatic melanoma. Investigations revealed positive MOG-IgG at high titers in serum (1:1,000; normal, <1:20) and CSF (1:4,096; normal, <1:2). MRI demonstrated multifocal T2 lesions with enhancement in the brain and spine. Brain biopsy showed demyelination and inflammation. MOG immunostaining was not present in the tumor tissue. He initially improved with methylprednisolone, plasmapheresis, prolonged oral steroid taper, and cancer-directed treatment with BRAF and MEK 1/2 inhibitors, but then developed bilateral optic neuritis. IV immunoglobulin (IVIG) was initiated. Five months later, he developed metastases and immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment was started, which precipitated optic neuritis and myelitis despite IVIG and prednisone. Tocilizumab, an interleukin-6 receptor blocker, was started with excellent and sustained clinical and radiologic response.
DISCUSSION: This case revealed a presentation of MOGAD concurrent with melanoma without tumor MOG immunostaining. We highlight tocilizumab as a dual-purpose treatment of MOGAD and the neurologic immune-related adverse effect of ICI.
