Choroidal metastasis from non-seminomatous germ cell tumour of the testis.
Ureal metastases (although an uncommon site of metastatic involvement) are seen with primary tumours of the lung and breast and, very rarely, in other primary tumours. Undescended testis predisposes to malignancy. We present a rare case of choroidal metastasis from a non-seminomatous germ cell tumour arising in an undescended testis, and describe its clinical, ultrasound and MRI findings together with a relevant review of the literature.
