[Unusual course of hypernephroma metastasis].
11 years after removal of a kidney because of hypernephroma a choroidal metastasis of this tumor grew. Clinically an inflammatory process had been suspected, thus leading to late correct diagnosis. The clinical and histological findings are presented. In the overall statistic of ocular metastasis seen in the university-eye-hospital in Hamburg, hypernephromas hold the 3rd place in the rank-list of the most common primary tumors. Thus, in case of a suspected ocular metastasis, in differential diagnosis a hypernephroma should be excluded.
