“…We successfully resected one metastasis, which had not responded to radiotherapy. This was a metastatic pulmonary leiomyosarcoma, which is well known to be radio-resistant 9. When selecting treatment, therefore, the radioresponsiveness of the tumour should be taken into account.…”

“…Ocular metastases from neuroendocrine tumors are rare, but given the scarcity of this cancer, ocular spread should be investigated (Eagle et al, 2000;Isidori et al, 2002;Schalenbourg et al, 2011). Sarcomas even more rarely metastasize to the choroid (Anderson et al, 2011;Feinstein et al, 2014;Jampol et al, 1973) (Figure 1).…”

“…[4] To the best of our knowledge, only one previous case report of choroidal metastasis from leiomyosarcoma was found on PubMed. [5] In that case, a 22-year-old woman underwent radiotherapy then resection of a large choroidal metastasis that proved on immunohistochemistry to represent leiomyosarcoma from a primary site in the lung.…”

Leiomyosarcoma is a malignant tumor of mesenchymal cells and is the most common soft-tissue sarcoma. Leiomyosarcoma is a notably rare tumor in the ophthalmic region and can be of primary, secondary or metastatic origin. To the best of our knowledge, there has only been one published case of leiomyosarcoma metastasis to the choroid. In this case study, we report two cases of primary leiomyosarcoma with metastasis to the choroid of the eye. Both cases displayed systemic metastasis and showed response to high dose plaque radiotherapy. Despite its prevalence as the leading form of sarcoma, leiomyosarcoma rarely metastasizes to the ocular region.
