Abstract

Purpose: To demonstrate the ability of ultra wide-field fundus imaging to document the response to treatment of a choroidal metastatic lesion from primary breast carcinoma. Design: Observational case report. Methods: A 45 year old female with a history of metastatic breast cancer and progressive vision loss in the right eye was noted to have an elevated, minimally pigmented choroidal lesion in the superior fundus periphery associated with a serous retinal detachment involving the macula. Ultra wide-field imaging allowed for comparison of the lesion size and secondary serous retinal detachment in response to systemic chemotherapy. Results: Over a 3 month follow up period of observation while the patient received systemic chemotherapy the lesion demonstrated increased growth and increased subretinal fluid. Conclusion: Ultra wide-field fundus photography allowed for accurate documentation of growth of a peripheral choroidal metastatic lesion and associated serous retinal detachment.
