Bilateral choroidal metastasis from carcinoma of the submandibular gland

Sheeja S John et al. Indian J Ophthalmol. 2008 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

Metastatic tumor is the most common uveal malignancy. However, choroidal metastasis from a salivary gland neoplasm is extremely rare. We report a case of bilateral, multifocal choroidal metastasis from carcinoma of the submandibular gland.
