Abstract
Choroidal metastases, the most common form of intraocular malignancies, are principally caused by primary tumors from breast, lung, and gastrointestinal tract. These lesions are mostly symptomatic and rarely detected incidentally in the extension study of a previously diagnosed tumor. Leiomyosarcoma is a neoplasm of mesenchymal cells with smooth muscle differentiation and represents the most prevalent soft-tissue sarcoma. Leiomyosarcoma is a notably rare tumor in ophthalmic region. We report a case of primary bone leiomyosarcoma metastatic to the choroid that was treated with chemotherapy and surgery. Although three cases of choroidal metastasis from leiomyosarcomas have been already reported, to our knowledge this is the first case of choroidal metastasis from primary bone leiomyosarcoma.Entities:
