Abstract
Uveal metastases are rare in children and metastasis from sarcoma is rare at any age. We report a purportedly healthy 10-year-old girl who developed ciliochoroidal metastasis from an occult primary extraosseous sarcoma of the ankle region. The patient died from widespread metastases 6 months after enucleation despite intensive chemotherapy.
