ABSTRACT
CASE REPORT: We report the case of a 66-year-old patient with serpiginous-like choroiditis and terminal epidermoid lung carcinoma. DISCUSSION: Serpiginous choroiditis is an idiopathic disease, although similar lesions have been described in association with tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, systemic lymphoma, herpes virus infection and Crohn's disease. The coexistence of serpiginous-like choroiditis and a lung carcinoma has not previously been described.
