| Abstrakt: | Colorectal cancer ranks third in cancer incidence in the United States, commonly metastasizing to the liver and lungs. Despite its high prevalence, colorectal cancer with intraocular metastasis is exceedingly rare, with only a few cases reported in the literature. This study presents a 58-year-old male, previously treated for rectal adenocarcinoma with liver and lung metastases, who developed choroidal metastasis causing visual impairment. Despite radiotherapy, moderate improvement was observed, and subsequent disease progression led to systemic chemotherapy. Intraocular metastasis, primarily affecting the choroid, is infrequent, often originating from breast and lung cancers. The presented case, originating from primary KRAS wild-type rectal cancer, adds to the limited gastrointestinal-tract-related occurrences. This report underscores the importance of recognizing intraocular metastasis in colorectal cancer, contributing valuable insights for improved understanding and potential guidance for future clinical decisions. Choroidal metastasis carries a poor prognosis, emphasizing the need for tailored management strategies.
