Metastatic intraocular carcinoma: clinicopathologic study of a case.
This case report describes the fluorescein angiography, the radioactive scintigraphy, and the pathologic findings of an intraocular metastasis from bronchogenic carcinoma which occurred in a 64-year-old white man. In spite of extensive studies, no definitive differential diagnosis between primary and secondary eye lesion could be established before enucleation for intractable pain. This case illustrates that presently available methods are not adequate for correct differential diagnosis in such cases.
