Carcinoid tumors are rare tumors with low malignancy. They are most often located in the digestive system and the bronchial tree. They metastasize to the lymph nodes, liver, bones and very rarely to the eye. Choroidal metastases almost always originate from the bronchial tree. Inversely, most orbital metastases originate in the digestive tract. Sometimes they have an orange color useful for diagnosis. We report the case of a woman who developed a bronchogenic carcinoid tumor at the age of 18, and presented five years later with bilateral and multifocal choroidal metastases. There was no other metastatic site. She has been treated with photocoagulation and cryotherapy. From the 25 previously reported cases, one can summarize that these specific metastasis grow slowly and allow good long-term survival.
类癌是一种恶性程度较低的罕见肿瘤。它们最常位于消化系统和支气管树。它们会转移至淋巴结、肝脏、骨骼，极少转移至眼部。脉络膜转移瘤几乎总是起源于支气管树。相反，大多数眼眶转移瘤起源于消化道。有时它们呈橙色，有助于诊断。我们报告一例18岁女性发生支气管类癌肿瘤，5年后出现双侧多灶性脉络膜转移瘤的病例。无其他转移部位。她接受了光凝和冷冻治疗。从之前报告的25例病例中可以总结出，这些特定转移瘤生长缓慢，长期生存率良好。
