[Choroidal metastasis of a testicular embryonal carcinoma]

A rare case of choroidal metastasis of testicular embryonic carcinoma origin is described, and pathologic features illustrated. The differential diagnosis of primary and metastatic ocular tumors is discussed. Because of the possibility of a primary ocular origin of this tumor and its rapid clinical evolution, the need to perform a systematic search for a primary testicular carcinoma in young male patients is emphasized.
