We present a case involving this rare cancer and fungal retinitis. Our patient developed a florid retinitis, which was thought to have a fungal aetiology, most likely because he was immunocompromised. Numerous factors are thought to have contributed to the development of ocular symptoms. He was treated appropriately and recovered his vision well. A holistic, multidisciplinary approach should be adopted when managing these patients. ER -
