%X Caso cl赤nico: Hombre de 52 a os que acudi車 a urgencias por disminuci車n progresiva de su visi車n en el ojo derecho. Como antecedentes hab赤a tenido nefrectom赤a derecha por carcinoma renal 7 a os antes y neumonectom赤a derecha por met芍stasis 3 meses antes. En la funduscopia se observaba una masa coroidea en ojo derecho, compatible con met芍stasis. Se realiz車 enucleaci車n. Durante un a o permaneci車 sin progresi車n pero en los 迆ltimos seis meses ya ha aparecido. Discusi車n: Las met芍stasis coroideas de carcinoma renal son infrecuentes y pueden ocurrir varios a os despu谷s de la curaci車n del primario. Su sintomatolog赤a es variable y su aspecto poco caracter赤stico por lo que puede dificultar su diagn車stico diferencial. Case report: A fifty-two year-old man who came to our emergency room because of gradual loss of vision in his right eye. He had suffered right nefrectomy for renal cell carcinoma seven years previously and pneumectomy for metastasis in his right lung three months ago. In the fundus examination a choroidal mass was found in his right eye, suggesting metastasis. Treatment was enucleation of the affected eye. During the first year there was no progression, but in the last six months it has re-appeared. Discussion: Choroidal metastasis of renal cell carcinoma is rare and can appear years after treating the primary tumour. Its symptoms are variable, and its shape is not very characteristic so it can be difficult to make a differential diagnosis.
