Abstract:
The metastatic neoplasm is one of the common neoplasms in the orbit. It is also reported that the commonest origin of the metastatic neoplasm to the eye is the lung in men and the breast in women respectively. The authors experienced a case of metastatic papillary adenocarcinoma to the choroid posteriorly of both eyes. The metastatic lesions were also found in brain, cervical lymph node, lung and breast. The origin of the cancer was obscure in this study and could not be identified.
