RÉSUMÉ
We report the occurrence of uveal metastatic carcinoma in two patients with longstanding HIV infection presenting with decreased visual acuity. In the first case, a 49-year-old man with a 6-year history of HIV infection presented with a 4-5 month history of blurred vision in his right eye. In the second case, a 53-year-old man with a 5-year history of HIV infection presented with a 3-week history of distorted and blurred vision in both eyes. In both cases, a choroidal metastatic carcinoma was ultimately discovered. To our knowledge, these are the first reported cases of metastatic uveal carcinoma in individuals with HIV infection. Currently, there have been dramatic improvements in treatment for HIV infection and longer survival times of infected individuals. This fact, together with reported increased frequencies and aggressiveness of carcinomas in HIV-infected individuals will likely result in increasing occurrences of uveal metastases from primary carcinomas in HIV.
