We report the case of 50-year-old woman who developed bilateral choroidal metastasis from endometrial carcinoma which was successfully treated with chemotherapy. Interestingly the other metastatic sites did not respond to chemotherapy and the patient died within six months because of disease progression. To our knowledge, this report is the second but the first bilateral case of endometrial adenocarcinoma metastatic to the choroid of the eye. This case highlights the need to thoroughly and promptly investigate the etiology of visual complaints in patients with a history of endometrial cancer even if brain metastasis exists.
