    Author: Shoaib KK, Haq IU, Ali K, Mukhtar MA, Nazir M.
    Journal: J Coll Physicians Surg Pak; 2008 Jun; 18(6):380-1. PubMed ID: 18760053.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of rare involvement of the eye with choroidal metastasis from renal cell carcinoma presenting 08 years after the primary tumor was removed. The patient initially presented with cataract most probably induced by the tumor. After cataract extraction, tumor was detected when it induced vitreous involvement and retinal detachment. Enucleation was performed and an extraocular mass was also excised. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of metastasis from renal cell carcinoma in the ocular tumor, extraocular mass and the vitreous.
