Abstract:
Choroidal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular cancer in adults. The predominant sites of metastasis that are associated with a poor prognosis are liver, lung and bone. The authors report here on a case of metastatic choroidal melanoma in the rib and bronchus, and this was all treated by surgical resection.
