PURPOSE/ METHODS: A 74-year-old woman had multiple tumors including a retinal mass. Her medical history included cutaneous sebaceous adenomas, adenocarcinoma of the breast, and colonic adenocarcinoma. Her involved eye became painful and was enucleated. RESULTS/ CONCLUSIONS: Examination of the enucleated eye disclosed metastatic adenocarcinoma to the retina with retinal detachment. The patient described has a retinal metastasis of an unknown primary tumor site with Muir-Torre syndrome, characterized by an association of a sebaceous gland tumor with an internal malignancy.
