Various investigators have concluded that metastatic carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor of the eye. In about 70% of all cases the primary site is breast or lung. Metastasis from the colon to the choroid is found very seldom. The clinical course in our case is described and the elevated fashion of the right eye's metastatic carcinoma is shown. Usually cancerous tissue in the choroid spreads and produces a rather flat, diffuse lesion. Problems in making the diagnose are discussed. In choroidal metastasis radiation should be attempted, for adequate vision can sometimes be maintained for the remaining time of the patient's life.
众多研究者得出结论，转移性癌是眼部最常见的恶性肿瘤。在所有病例中，约70%的原发部位是乳腺或肺部。从结肠转移至脉络膜的情况极为罕见。本文描述了我们所诊治病例的临床病程，并展示了右眼转移性癌的进展方式。通常脉络膜中的癌组织会扩散并形成相当扁平、弥漫性的病变。文中还讨论了诊断方面的问题。对于脉络膜转移癌应尝试进行放疗，因为有时可为患者维持余生的足够视力。
