Short description of contents:

A case of a choroidal metastasis treated with Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery is reported. A 48-year-old Caucasian man afflicted with lung cancer (adenocarcinoma) was referred to the University Hospital of Verona, Italy, for loss of vision in his left eye due to a choroidal mass with exudative retinal detachment. Clinical investigation was conclusive of a well-defined, bilobed choroidal metastasis located in the temporal and inferior portion of the posterior pole of the eye. The lesion was characterized by a maximum thickness of 5.2 mm and a maximum lateral extension of 14 mm. The staging was negative for other metastatic localizations. Using the Gamma Knife technique, a surface dose of 25 Gy was administered at the 50% isodose line using the 8-mm collimator (5 shots) with equally weighted fields. After a 3-month follow-up period, a marked reduction in the lesion size as well as in the exudative retinal detachment was observed. This improvement was unchanged 6 months after the treatment, and the lesion appeared completely controlled. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of an ocular metastasis treated with stereotactic Gamma Knife radiosurgery.
