The most common form of intraocular malignancy is metastatic disease and the choroid is the most common metastatic site in the eye. Retinal metastases, however, are much rarer than those in the choroid and this may lead to delayed diagnosis. Biopsy is useful for confirming the diagnosis and may indicate the site of the primary tumor. Treatment options include radiotherapy, chemotherapy, brachytherapy, and surgery; however, a multidisciplinary approach to management is needed. Despite successful eradication of the retinal metastasis, the visual and survival prognosis is poor.
