Choroidal metastasis is the most common intraocular malignancy followed by ocular melanoma. This presentation is reported commonly in breast and lung malignancies with multifocal involvement of one eye, or involvement of both eyes. In lung cancer, it is seen in 50-60 year old males with histopathological diagnosis of adenocarcinoma. Here we report the rare occurrence of squamous cell carcinoma lung in 35 year-old female with choroidal metastasis as initial presentation in a patient who had undergone treatment for carcinoma hypopharynx as metachronous second primary.
Key word: Secondary choroidal neoplasm, Squamous cell carcinoma, Lung, Ophthalmoscopy
We are presenting two cases that illustrate nonosseous localization of 99mTc-Methylene diphosphonate (MDP) in hepatic metastases arising from varied primary pathology and review of the literature. This series emphasizes the evidence of MDP localization in hepatic metastases arising from adenocarcinoma of rectum and infiltrating duct cell carcinoma of the breast.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
