Abstract

Metastatic tumor to the eye is the most common type of intraocular malignancy. The most common primary site of the intraocular metastatic tumor is the breast in women and the lung in men respectively and the choroid is by far the most common site for intraocular metastasis. We experienced a case of chroidal metastasis in a patient with pancreatic carcinoma which is not published in Korea. So, we review that case with the literatures related with metastatic pancreatic cancer to the choroid.
