Abstract

Our purpose was to evaluate the uveal metastasis causing progressive vision loss in the advanced rectal cancer. In our case, 34 years old male patient has consulted to our clinic by medical oncology department because of right blurred vision. He was primary mucinous rectum cancer patient and also has lung and vertebral metastasis. The most common intraocular malignant tumors are uveal metastasis. Especially in severe and advanced cancer patients, there may be seen some metastasis and approximately 10% of these metastasis can be seen in choroid. On the other hand, first sign of a metastatic primary tumor can be an uveal metastasis, that’s why it is important to research for primary origin. Extraocular malignant cancers may metastate intraocular, but this event is rare. Intraocular metastasis can be seen in the uveal tract, mostly in the choroid and they are the most common type of intraocular malignancies. Choroidal metastasis is seen like a creamy white or pale yellow mass associated with subretinal fluid. The most common primary origins are breast cancer in female and lung cancer in male patients. They can be diagnose by ultrasonography (USG) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Intraocular biopsy is useful in patients with clinical suspicion of uveal metastasis but no evidence of primary malignancy despite systemic evaluation. If systemic treatment is not enough to supress the ocular tumor, local therapies such as external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), and transpupillary thermotherapy (TPT) may be tried. Unfortunately, the survival rate of these patients is low after diagnosis.
