  • Title: Ultrasonographic evidence of a mushroom-shaped choroidal metastasis.
    Author: Ward SD, Byrne BJ, Kincaid MC, Mann ES.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 2000 Nov; 130(5):681-2. PubMed ID: 11078856.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To describe the evolution of a "collar-button" or mushroom-shaped choroidal metastasis. METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: A 52-year-old woman with known primary colon cancer and widespread extraocular metastases developed bilateral choroidal masses with neurosensory retinal detachments. Clinical and ultrasound evaluation demonstrated evolution of a choroidal metastasis with a "collar-button" configuration in the right eye. CONCLUSION: A choroidal metastasis may develop a mushroom-shaped configuration. This "collar-button" configuration is not pathognomonic for choroidal melanoma.
