title: Ocular metastasis of choriocarcinoma.
abstract: Metastatic tumours of the eye commonly occur from primaries of the breast or lung. The prognosis is poor and the mean life expectancy is 6.5 months from diagnosis. Although metastatic tumours of the eye are not a rarity, ocular metastasis from choriocarcinoma has not been reported previously. We report a case of gestational choriocarcinoma with ocular metastasis.
