Clinicopathologic correlation in a case of metastatic uveal tumor.
A clinicopathologic correlation is reported of an ocular metastasis from an unknown primary tumor. The tumor appeared initially confined to the choroid. The diagnosis of metastatic adenocarcinoma was obtained by choroidal biopsy. The metastasis was uncontrollable with teleradiotherapy. Six months later the anterior segment also appeared infiltrated and the eye was enucleated.
