Bilateral Choroidal Metastases from Lung Adenocarcinoma: A Case Report.
Case Reports in Oncology 2016 September
The most common malignancy of the eye is metastatic tumors, with choroidal metastases being the majority of them. In women, breast cancer is the most common cause of orbital metastases, and in men, it is lung cancer. Despite the fact that there are efficient treatment options for orbital metastases, the benefit of procedures to detect choroidal metastases is debatable due to the quick progression and poor prognosis of lung cancer. In choroidal metastases resulting from lung cancer, patients are usually presented with decreased sight. Defects in the field of vision, flashes of light and floating bodies generally follow. Treatment options of choroidal metastases include many methods including laser photocoagulation, cryotherapy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgical resection, enucleation and photodynamic therapy. There are reports emphasizing radiotherapy as the most efficient treatment option. In this case report, we sum up the case of a male patient presenting with blurry vision in both eyes, who was subsequently detected to have bilateral choroidal metastatic tumor and was diagnosed with primary lung adenocarcinoma.
