Abstract

Metastasis of choroid from prostate cancer is not common and has not been reported before in Korea. We report a case of decreased vision in a patient with prostate cancer. After external beam radiotherapy, patient had complete response in the choroidal metastasis. Metastasis of choroid secondary to prostate is not common. There have been only 8 cases reported. In this case, we demonstrated that external beam radiotherapy showed a therapeutic effect.
