Bilateral uveal metastases from small-cell carcinoma of the lung.
Metastasis from small-cell carcinoma of the lung (SCCL) has most frequently been found in the lymph nodes, bones, brain, and liver. We have reported a case of metastatic SCCL located in the uveal layer of both eyes (choroidal in one and iridic in the other), an extremely rare occurrence.
