Abstract BackgroundChoroidal metastasis in patients with gastric cancer is extremely rare. Furthermore, orbital and intraocular metastasis are generally associated with a bad prognosis. Here, we retrospectively report a patient with gastric carcinoma and choroidal metastasis.Case presentationA 59-year-old man with a history of gastric cancer was admitted to the Ophthalmology Department of our hospital due to a one-week history of eye pain; It was only eight months since the gastric cancer was diagnosed. The patient was diagnosed with gastric cancer at a local hospital two years previously, but had then spread to the left femur. The patient then received systemic chemotherapy at the local hospital. However, scans of his eyes in our hospital revealed a choroidal tumor in his left eye. The histopathological and immunohistochemical features of the removed eyeball suggested metastatic carcinoma, most likely originating in the gastrointestinal tract, and were consistent with a moderately well-differentiated gastric cancer.ConclusionsChoroidal metastasis can masquerade as glaucoma. Consequently, choroid metastasis of gastric cancer should be a consideration when a patient with a history of gastric cancer presents with eye pain, impaired vision, or high intraocular pressure.
