Abstract
- Metastatic tumors are the most common intraocular malignances and choroid is by far the most common site. Breast and lung cancer are the first cause in women and men respectively. We report the case of a 71-year old woman who had choroidal tumor in her left eye. Further image body scans demonstrated several lesions in both sides of the lungs with dissemination to other organs. Diagnosis of a brochioloalveolar carcinoma established after a biopsy carried out. The patient died before initiating a proper treatment.
