ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Ocular manifestations of Wilms' tumor are rare, particularly in adults. We present the first reported case of a choroidal metastasis resulting from Wilms' tumor.DESIGN:
Case report. PARTICIPANT A 37-year-old white male with an adult-onset biopsy-proven Wilms' tumor with multiorgan metastatic disease.RESULTS:
We report a unique case of uveal metastasis presumed from a Wilms' tumor. The patient's history included a primary Wilms' tumor with known disseminated metastasis, orbital pain, metamorphopsia, and decreased vision. Ophthalmoscopy revealed a unifocal choroidal tumor in the inferotemporal quadrant of the right eye. Ultrasonographic measurements of the tumor were 4.9 mm in apical height and 15 x 13 mm in basal diameter. Unusual ultrasound findings included echodense stromal opacities and retrobulbar edema. Fluorescein angiography revealed double circulation and late intratumoral fluorescence.CONCLUSIONS:
This is the first reported case of a choroidal metastasis by a Wilms' tumor.
