In this case report, the treatment was based on the identification of the fungus in other organs, even though the patient initially presented with ocular symptoms.…”

Cases of retinal and choroidal involvement of PCM are even rarer and have been described by only a few authors (Table 1) [5, 7, 1720]. …”

“…Ocular primary lesions are rare. 10 Of 50 cases described by Belfort et al, 38% had lid lesions, 24% palpebral-conjunctival involvement, 12% conjunctival, and 4% palpebral-conjunctival-corneal. 11 Retinal involvement alone or associated with that of other ocular structures (choroid and uvea) has been described even less frequently.…”
