CASO CLÍNICO: Varón de 61 años con un carcinoma adenoide quístico de glándulas salivales menores de labio inferior presentó deterioro unilateral y progresivo de la agudeza visual debido a una metástasis coroidea. DISCUSIÓN: El carcinoma adenoide quístico es un tumor infrecuente con un importante potencial mestastásico. Nuestro paciente presentó una metástasis coroidea unilateral. Actualmente hay descritos 8 casos de metástasis coroidea de un carcinoma adenoide quístico de glándulas salivales. Este es el segundo caso descrito de metástasis coroidea con origen en un tumor de glándulas salivales menores y el primero con origen en las glándulas salivales menores del labio inferior
CASE REPORT: A 61-year-old man with a lower lip minor salivary gland adenoid cystic carcinoma, suffered from a unilateral progressive visual acuity loss due to choroidal metastasis. DISCUSSION: Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare primary tumour with significant metastatic potential. Our patient presented with a unilateral choroidal metastasis. According to the current literature, 8 cases of choroidal metastasis of salivary gland adenoid cystic carcinoma have been reported. This is the second case reported of choroidal metastasis with origin in a minor salivary gland, and the first one with origin in the minor salivary glands of the lower lip
