ABSTRACT
Objective: To report a case of choroidal mass secondary to mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of ovary in a young woman. Method: A case report. Result: A 21-year-old woman presented with insidious painless, progressive, central scotoma of the right eye for 5 weeks. She was disease free for 9 years after she underwent right salpingo-oophorectomy for her mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of right ovary. She completed 6 cycles of chemotherapy regimen. On presentation, her visual acuity was counting finger in the right eye and 6/ 6 in the left eye. Both anterior segments were unremarkable. Fundus examination of the right eye showed multiple choroidal masses with the largest in the temporal to fovea. Generally, she was well. Her tumor markers were raised. Urgent Computed Tomography (CT) Scan of thorax, abdomen and pelvis showed multiple distance metastases. She was referred to the gynecology team. She was scheduled for chemotherapy. However, she defaulted the treatment. 3 months after that, her general condition deteriorated. She developed bilateral internal jugular vein thrombosis and massive right pleural effusion. She passed away due to that complication. Conclusion: Choroidal metastasis from primary ovary carcinoma is very rare. Ocular symptoms can be the first presenting features to a life-threatening condition.
