Abstract:
PURPOSE:To report a minimally symptomatic patient with bilateral carcinoid tumors metastatic to the choroid who was followed up for 42 months without any treatment. METHOD:Case report. RESULTS:A 54-year-old white man with a history of bronchial carcinoid tumor had bilateral multiple carcinoid tumors metastatic to the choroid. Follow-up for 42 months without treatment demonstrated no growth of the choroidal tumors, and corrected visual acuity remained RE, 20/20 and LE, 20/25. Systemic status also remained stable. CONCLUSIONS:Carcinoid tumors metastatic to the choroid may remain stationary for an extended period. Treatment may be deferred until tumor growth, exudative retinal detachment, or substantial impairment of vision develops.
