ABSTRACT Choroidal metastasis is the most common intraocular malignancy. However, bilateral involvement remains exceptionally rare. We describe a case of a 57-year-old patient with no comorbidity who presented with progressive decrease in visual acuity of both eyes for 5 months duration. Fundus examination of both eyes revealed choroidal masses in the posterior pole with serous retinal detachment. She did not exhibit any respiratory symptoms, and systemic examinations were normal. Systemic investigation including computed tomography thorax revealed patient had lung tumour […]

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the epidemiological, clinical, and imaging profile of lesions that mimic choroidal melanoma. Methods: Retrospective study of medical records of suspected choroidal melanoma lesions referred to the Ocular Oncology Service from the Universidade Federal de São Paulo, from 2014 to 2020. Demographic data, clinical history, and exams were evaluated. Results: A total of 104 patients (mean age: 65.57 ± 13.18; 49.04% female) were referred to our service with suspected choroidal melanoma. Of these, 32 (30.77%) were classified […]

A ocorrência de metástases do melanoma de coróide é frequente na doença avançada, acometendo principalmente fígado, pulmões e sistema nervoso central. Relatamos um caso de melanoma de coróide com metástases cutâneas, por se tratar de acometimento raro, mesmo em casos avançados da doença.

Metastasis in choroidal melanoma is frequent on advanced diseases, involving mainly the liver, lungs and central nervous system. We report a case of cutaneous metastasis in choroidal melanoma because is an unusual condition, even in advanced disease.

Choroid metastasis have been considered the most common ocular malignancy. Early detection allows arrangements to provide tumor reduction and to improve visual quality. Many treatments have been proposed to aim these objectives. This work reviews clinical characteristics, diagnosis and monitoring methods, characteristics of complementary exams, and treatments used in patients with this disease.
