TORRES SUAREZ, E et al. Serpiginous choriditis in a patient with lung carcinoma. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2005, vol.80, n.5, pp.311-314. ISSN 0365-6691.

Case report: We report the case of a 66-year-old patient with serpiginous-like choroiditis and terminal epidermoid lung carcinoma. Discussion: Serpiginous choroiditis is an idiopathic disease, although similar lesions have been described in association with tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, systemic lymphoma, herpes virus infection and Crohn´s disease. The coexistence of serpiginous-like choroiditis and a lung carcinoma has not previously been described.

Keywords : Serpiginous choroiditis; epidermoid lung carcinoma; inflammatory choroiditis.
