[Metastases to the uvea: statistical study of 133 cases]

133 cases of uveal metastasis were reviewed. The study included 97 women and 36 men, aged 10 to 80 (mean 53.1). Breast carcinoma in women and lung carcinoma in men were the primary malignancies, which most frequently led to uveal metastasis. Metastasis from lung carcinoma were often diagnosed before the primary tumor. Survival from ocular diagnosis to death depends on the histological type of the primary tumor.
