BACKGROUND Metastatic choroidal carcinomas that originated from the gastrointestinal tract are extremely rare. We report a case of suspected solitary choroidal metastasis from gastric adenocarcinoma. CASE PRESENTATION The patient was a 60-year-old man who had undergone laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with D1+ lymphadenecetomy for gastric cancer. The clinical stage was T1bN0M0 (TNM classificat...

PURPOSE To report the clinical and paraclinical features of two patients with orange- colored choroidal metastases in whom the primary cancers have not previously been associated with such lesions. CASE REPORT Orange-colored choroidal lesions were detected on the fundus examination of one patient with metastatic small cell neuroendocrine tumor of the larynx and oropharynx, and in another subj...

Choroidal metastasis in 23–30 % of cases have multifocal growth. In 10–20 patients do not subjective complaints, due to eccentrical localization choroidal metastases. these cases, they are detected by chance during examination. the literature there is no information on possibility early diagnosis “small” foci metastatic lesions choroid using optical coherence tomography (OCT). The aim. To ident...

Choroidal carcinoma is an insidious tumor frequently causing late liver metastases which are associated with a poor outcome. Since metastatic liver lesions are potentially resectable with curative intention, tight follow-up schedules after treatment of primary tumors for the early detection of liver metastasis have been proposed. The methods employed so far, however, have proven to be of limite...

BACKGROUND Visual disturbance caused by cancer metastasis from other organs is one of the largest challenges to cancer patients' quality of life (QOL). Lung cancer is the most frequent primary site of choroidal metastasis in men, but improvement of visual disturbance has not always been emphasized in lung cancers. Recently intravitreal bevacizumab is a newer modality being tried for local contr...

PURPOSE To investigate tumor thickness and location, the interval of time between treatment for choroidal melanoma (proton beam irradiation or enucleation) and diagnosis of metastatic disease, and rates and sites of metastasis. DESIGN Retrospective, interventional, noncomparative case series. METHODS Follow-up of 152 patients with primary choroidal melanoma, between 1992 and 2006 (14 years)...
