Аннотация

Marjolin is an aggressive malignancy, which shows initial local aggression, followed by the rapid regional and distant dissemination during the latter part of its growth. Metastasis to the uveal tract, although infrequent, is usually secondary to the malignancies of the breast and lung. Marjolin's ulcer metastasizing to choroid is quite rare and unheard of. We intend to report one such case here. Here, we present a case report of a 55-year-old male, who developed Marjolin's ulcer over a previously injured left lower limb. He developed recurrence and re-recurrences requiring multiple surgeries, radiation, and chemotherapy cycles. He eventually developed disseminated systemic metastases. Over the course of his disease, he reported eye symptoms of pain, blurring of vision, and field defect in the left eye. On further evaluation with imaging and fundoscopy, a metastatic deposit was identified in the choroid of the left eye. Metastasis to the uveal tract is an unusual unreported event in the disease progression of Marjolin's ulcer. The treatment is usually palliative. It heralds the terminal stage of the disease, with inevitable death.
