We report the occurrence of uveal metastatic carcinoma in two patients with longstanding HIV infection presenting with decreased visual acuity. In the first case, a 49-year-old man with a 6-year history of HIV infection presented with a 4-5 month history of blurred vision in his right eye. In the second case, a 53-year-old man with a 5-year history of HIV infection presented with a 3-week history of distorted and blurred vision in both eyes. In both cases, a choroidal metastatic carcinoma was ultimately discovered. To our knowledge, these are the first reported cases of metastatic uveal carcinoma in individuals with HIV infection. Currently, there have been dramatic improvements in treatment for HIV infection and longer survival times of infected individuals. This fact, together with reported increased frequencies and aggressiveness of carcinomas in HIV-infected individuals will likely result in increasing occurrences of uveal metastases from primary carcinomas in HIV.

“…It had been estimated that only 10 to 15% of ocular secondary deposits arose from the lung (Giri, 1939), but, now that bronchial carcinoma is more common, more cases may be seen with a higher incidence in males. Moreover, Greear (1950) points out that a metastatic tumour in the uveal tract is easily overlooked when it is a minor feature in a patient with generalized carcinomatosis.…”

“…Apesar das várias publicações isoladas sobre carcinoma metastático ocular, existem poucas séries acerca da prevalência e características desses tumores (1)(2)(3)(4) . A maioria dos oftalmologistas parece ter pouca experiência com o diagnóstico e o tratamento do carcinoma metastático para o olho.…”

“…Em 1936, Lemoine e McLeod relataram um caso de carcinoma metastático para a coróide e comentaram o fato de, até aquele momento, haverem cerca de 230 casos publicados de carcinoma metastático para o olho, sendo esse diagnóstico confirmado histopatologicamente em 165 pacientes (1) . Em 1950, haviam aproximadamente 300 casos publicados de carcinoma metastático para o olho (2) . Alguns autores relataram uma série de 213 pacientes com metástases para o olho e anexos (3) .…”
