Chondrosarcoma Metastasis to the Choroid

Abstract

We report a rare case of chondrosarcoma metastatic to the choroid. A 64-year-old male with a history of chondrosarcoma metastatic to the lungs and to the spine presented with blurred vision. A choroidal tumor was found. Fine-needle biopsy confirmed the histologic identity of the tumor as chondrosarcoma. Metastatic spread of chondrosarcoma to the eye is extremely rare. When present, lesions may grow rapidly, and systemic prognosis is poor. Co-management with medical oncology is of utmost importance. This is the third case of chondrosarcoma metastatic to the choroid in the literature and the first with bilateral involvement.
