There are few reports of paraneoplastic NMOSD associated with malignant melanoma. Here, we report a rare case of anti-aquaporin 4 (AQP4) antibody-positive NMOSD associated with malignant melanoma.

“…A case series from 2021 examined three cases, each with distinct cancer diagnoses but all linked by the underlying diagnosis of NMOSD, demonstrating the paraneoplastic potential of NMOSD [45]. The first NMOSD-positive patient developed grade 2 lymphopenia, normochromic normocytic anemia, and IgG lambda monoclonal gammopathy.…”
