Follicular thyroid carcinoma is the second most common thyroid carcinoma and causes distant metastasis more frequently than any other types. Choroidal metastasis from follicular thyroid carcinoma is extremely rare. Only a few cases have been reported since 1979. We present the case of a 60 years old woman developing choroidal metastasis with associated local (lymph nodes) and distant (lungs) metastasis after nine years of diagnosis as primary follicular carcinoma.
