Abstract
A 74-year-old woman had multiple tumors including a retinal mass. Her medical history included cutaneous sebaceous adenomas, adenocarcinoma of the breast, and colonic adenocarcinoma. Her involved eye became painful and was enucleated. Examination of the enucleated eye disclosed metastatic adenocarcinoma to the retina with retinal detachment. The patient described has a retinal metastasis of an unknown primary tumor site with Muir-Torre syndrome, characterized by an association of a sebaceous gland tumor with an internal malignancy.
