Choroidal Metastasis Mimicking Age-Related Macular Degeneration in a Case with Breast Cancer

A 78-yearold woman applied to our clinic with decreased vision in her right eye in the last three months. Visual acuity of the patient was at hand motion level at right eye. In the fundus, a subretinal mass mimicking choroidal neovasculer membrane (CNVM) was detected. The mass was approximately at a size of 5 disc diameters extending from the optic disc to the macula, forming an elevation under the retina and was accompanied by exudation. In the detailed history, the patient’s had completely cured by surgery and chemotherapy due to the breast cancer 15 years ago. Imaging methods were conducted and showed metastasis to the choroid as well as to the brain. The patient passed away due to extensive metastatic cancer while she was under chemotherapy treatment. Metastatic tumors may mimic CNVM. Choroidal metastasis should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients who have unilateral age-related maculer degenaration(AMD).
