Intraocular metastasis: comparison of clinical presentation with a known and unknown primary tumour.

CONCLUSIONS: Although intraocular metastases are the most frequent intraocular tumour, they are not a frequent cause of consultation. In more than half of the cases it is the first presentation of unknown systemic neoplasia as a solitary non-pigmented intraocular mass. Early diagnosis is crucial to establish the appropriate treatment, preserve visual function, and improve the prognosis of the patient. PMID: 28739193 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
