  • Title: Cavitary Choroidal Metastasis from Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma.
    Author: Ayres B, McClendon T, Demirci H.
    Journal: Optom Vis Sci; 2017 Aug; 94(8):851-853. PubMed ID: 28692599.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To report the clinical, funduscopic, and echographic features of a choroidal metastatic tumor from a clear cell renal cell carcinoma presenting with intralesional cavitation. CASE REPORT: An 81-year-old man with history of clear cell renal cell carcinoma presented with blurred vision. A clinical examination including standardized ultrasound was performed, which revealed a choroidal mass with cystic-like cavitation. The patient underwent brachytherapy with regression of the tumor. CONCLUSIONS: We report the features of a cavitary choroidal metastasis from clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Occurrence of features usually associated with uveal melanoma in a patient with a metastatic choroidal tumor may lead to misdiagnosis.
