==Clinical significance== Choroid is the most common site for metastasis in the eye due to its extensive vascular supply. The origin of the metastases are usually from breast cancer, lung cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, and kidney cancer. Bilateral choroidal metastases are usually due to breast cancer, while unilateral metastasis is due to lung cancer. Choroidal metastases should be differentiated from [[uveal melanoma]], where the latter is a primary tumour arising from the choroid itself.<ref name="pmid25827542">{{cite journal |vauthors=Arepalli S, Kaliki S, Shields CL |title=Choroidal metastases: origin, features, and therapy |journal=Indian Journal of Ophthalmology |volume=63 |issue=2 |pages=122β127 |date=February 2015 |pmid=25827542 |pmc=4399120 |doi=10.4103/0301-4738.154380 |url= |doi-access=free }}</ref>
