Prof. Dr., İnönü Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi, Göz Hastalıkarı AD, Malatya - Türkiye
Metastatic choroidal tumors is the most common type of intraocular tumor in adults. The most common origin of choroidal metastasis is
from the breast and lung. Choroidal metastases can display a broad spectrum of clinical signs and symptoms. The malignancy appears
classically as a yellow choroidal mass producing serous retinal detachment. Therapy generally involves systemic chemotherapy or local
radiotherapy, and the globe is usually retained with intermediate visual acuity.
