Choroidal Metastasis of Adenocarcinoma of the Lung Presenting as Pigmented Choroidal Tumor

Our case represents a unique occurrence of pigmented choroidal tumor that clinically appeared as choroidal melanoma and was treated accordingly. At the same time, while evaluating the patient for systemic metastases of uveal melanoma, she was diagnosed as having lung carcinoma. Events that led to th...

description Our case represents a unique occurrence of pigmented choroidal tumor that clinically appeared as choroidal melanoma and was treated accordingly. At the same time, while evaluating the patient for systemic metastases of uveal melanoma, she was diagnosed as having lung carcinoma. Events that led to the enucleation of the eye enabled a histological diagnosis: pulmonary adenocarcinoma. In our case, it happened that a very rare pigmented choroidal metastatic tumor was the presenting sign of a pulmonary adenocarcinoma.
