Background Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary bone carcinoma. Adulthood most frequent intraocular malignant tumor is choroidal metastasis; however, these are rarely related to sarcomas. There are only two OS-related choroidal metastasis cases reported in the literature, both prior to 1970. Case presentation A 20-year-old man with a history of tibial OS, right leg amputation, and lung and brain metastases, presented with decreased vision in his right eye (OD). Ophthalmic examination revealed a best-corrected visual acuity of hand movements and a large, posterior pole, nodular, subretinal mass, with associated fluid. B-scan revealed a heterogeneous lump, with medium/high reflectivity, and a height-to-base ratio (HBR) of 1-1.2, approximately. Computerized tomography (CT) scan showed a hyperdense and contrast-enhanced mass, while on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) the lesion appeared T1-isointense and T2-hypointense. Conclusion Choroidal OS metastasis can appear as a pink nodule with high HBR and intralesional hyperreflective deposits. Sudden visual changes in individuals with OS-related systemic metastatic disease should be monitored closely by ophthalmology and oncology jointly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
