Abstract

PURPOSE: We report a case of a choroidal metastasis from an adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung. DESIGN: Interventional case report. METHODS: A 40-year old man, 9 months' status postresection of a bronchial adenoid cystic carcinoma, was diagnosed by clinical evaluation and fine-needle aspiration biopsy and treated with palladium-103 ophthalmic plaque brachytherapy. RESULTS: This unusual patient with uveal metastasis from adenoid cystic carcinoma presented with decreased vision in the right eye and a diaphanous amelanotic choroidal tumor in the superotemporal macula. Ultrasound revealed a dome-shaped tumor that measured 4.0 mm in apical height and 11 x 10 mm in basal diameter. Fluorescein angiography revealed a double circulation and late intense subretinal fluorescence. Plaque brachytherapy provided local control and preservation of the eye. CONCLUSION: Bronchogenic adenoid cystic carcinoma can metastasize to the choroid.
