| Summary: |
Purpose: To present
a clinical picture and results of treatment in two
patients with bronchial carcinoid metastases to choroid.
Material and methods: Two females aged 47 and 56
with bilateral and multiple metastases of bronchial
carcinoid were enrolled in this study. Choroidal
metastases occurred 6-7 years after primary tumors had
been diagnosed. The follow-up period ranged from 2.5 to
5 years. In one patient teleradiotherapy of choroidal
metastases was performed, while in a second case plaque
therapy with 106 Ru and 125 I and a diode laser therapy
were used.
Results: After therapy, one patient demonstrated
partial regression of two choroidal metastases and total
regression of one tumor, while the second one, showed
total regression of all intraocular tumors. One patient
developed irradiation neuropathy and retinopathy as a
result of teleradiotherapy, which were the main cause of
decreased visual acuity in her one eye.
Conclusions: Regarding the good prognosis and
potentially long survival of patients with bronchial
carcinoid, prompt treatment of choroidal metastases is
recommended. Applied method of therapy depends on tumor
size, its localization and patient’s general condition. |
