Résumé
The aim of the study was to describe choroidal detachments and concurrent scleritis associated with necrotic choroidal metastasis or melanoma. We conducted a retrospective case series. We report 4 patients with scleritis and choroidal detachment with an underlying malignant choroidal tumor. All patients underwent fine-needle aspiration biopsy for cytopathologic characterization of their choroidal tumor, and they all demonstrated evidence of tumor necrosis. Two patients were diagnosed with choroidal metastasis from lung and esophageal adenocarcinoma. Both patients ultimately expired from systemic metastasis. The remaining 2 patients were diagnosed with choroidal melanoma and were successfully treated with plaque radiotherapy. Choroidal detachment with concurrent scleritis can occur as a rare sequelae of tumor necrosis of an underlying choroidal malignancy.
