Indian J Ophthalmol. 2008 Jan-Feb;56(1):75-6. doi: 10.4103/0301-4738.37608.

Abstract

Metastatic tumor is the most common uveal malignancy. However, choroidal metastasis from a salivary gland neoplasm is extremely rare. We report a case of bilateral, multifocal choroidal metastasis from carcinoma of the submandibular gland.
