Abstract

A case of papillary serous ovarian adenocarcinoma with choroidal metastasis to the eye is reported. Central nervous system metastasis of any kind is rare from this tumor, and only three cases of choroidal metastases have been reported to date. A 67-year-old women presented 2 years after diagnosis of Stage IIIC papillary serous ovarian adenocarcinoma with complaints of a 'teardrop'-shaped visual field defect in her right eye. Fundoscopic examination revealed metastasis to the superior-temporal right choroid. No coexisting sites of recurrence were discovered. This case highlights the need to thoroughly and promptly investigate the etiology of visual field complaints in patients with a history of ovarian cancer.
