Abstract

The aim of this study was to present the clinical features of a patient with choroidal micrometastasis from breast cancer as a first manifestation of systemic involvement. A 49-year-old woman who underwent left radical mastectomy combined with adjuvant therapy for breast cancer presented with blurred vision in her left eye. The patient underwent detailed ophthal- mologic examination, optical coherence tomography (OCT), fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA). Left fundus examination revealed a yellowish lesion with subretinal fluid at posterior pole involving the macula. OCT demonstrated serous retinal detachment and retinal pigment epithelium layer irregularity. Although FAF imaging showed speckled hypo-hyper autofluorescence and FFA revealed hyperfluorescent areas superior to the macula. Clinical findings were consistent with choroidal metastasis. Systemic scan revealed the metastases to choroid and adrenal gland. In conclusion, ocular imaging patterns might help us for differential diagnosis of microscopic choroidal metastases from other ocular pathologies.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, meme kanserinin sistemik tutulumunun ilk bulgusu olarak ortaya çıkan koroidal mikrometastazlı bir hastanın klinik özelliklerinin sunulmasıdır. Meme kanseri nedeniyle adjuvan terapi ile kombine sol radikal mastektomi uygulanmış olan 49 yaşındaki kadın hasta sol gözünde bulanık görme ile başvurdu. Hastaya, ayrıntılı göz muayenesi, op- tik koherens tomografi (OKT), fundus otofloresan (FOF) görüntüleme ve fundus floresein anjiyografi (FFA) uygulandı. Sol gözün fundus muayenesinde, arka kutupta makulayı içine alan subretinal sıvı ile birlikte sarımsı lezyon saptandı. Optik koherens tomografide, seröz retinal ayrılma ve retina pigment epitel tabakası düzensizliği saptanırken, FOF görüntüleme- de, benekli yapıda hipo-hiper otofloresans ve fundus floresein anjiyografide, makula superiorunda hiperfloresan sahalar gözlendi. Klinik bulgular koroidal metastaz ile uyumluydu. Sistemik taramada, koroid ve adrenal bez metastazları saptan- dı. Sonuç olarak, oküler görüntüleme paternleri, meme kanseri kaynaklı mikroskobik koroidal metastazların diğer oküler patolojilerden ayrılmasında fayda sağlayabilmektedir.
