Abstract Purpose:To report a case of exudative retinal detachment secondary to metastatic choroidal tumor that needed differentiation from rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Case:A 51-year-old man noted metamorphopsia in the left eye one month before. He was referred to us for retinal detachment with lattice degeneration in the inferior periphery. He had received surgery for colon cancer 18 months before and metastasis to the lung and lymph nodes was detected one month before.

Findings and Clinical Course:Corrected visual acuity was 1.5 right and 0.5 left. The left eye showed a white mass in the posterior fundus with retinal detachment extending inferiorly. Lattice degeneration was present in the inferior retina. Fluorescein angiography showed multiple leakage in the white mass in the posterior fundus, leading to the diagnosis of exudative retinal detachment secondary to choroidal tumor. The retinal detachment disappeared after 2 months of systemic chemotherapy alone.

Conclusion:Retinal detachment secondary to metastatic choroidal tumor can be diagnosed by medical history and fluorescein angiographic findings. In the present case, response to chemotherapy played a key role in differentiating rhegmatogenous retinal detachment due to lattice degeneration in the inferior periphery.
