We presenta case of a patient in whom thefirst manifestation of breast carcinoma recurrence ten years after the initial diagnosis was a loss of vision as a result of a choroidal metástase. A clear therapeutic response to tamoxifen was seen. Choroidal metástases are rare in clinicai onco­ logical practice and are considered exceptional as aform of presentation of a recurrence of bre­ast carcinoma. Radiotherapy is the usual palia­tive therapy. This unusual response to tamoxi­fen is emphasized in view of the absence of simi­ lar reports in the literature.
