RETINAL METASTASIS FROM SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA OF THE LUNG: A CASE PRESENTATION.

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: To present a case with retinal metastasis from squamous cell carcinoma of the lung.

METHODS: Case report.

RESULTS: A 54-year-old man presented with blurry vision in his left eye. His medical history was significant for Stage IV squamous lung carcinoma. He was undergoing chemotherapy and had a known metastasis. He had a slightly elevated whitish lesion associated with retinal hemorrhages in the left posterior pole. Optical coherence tomography showed a full-thickness retinal mass. No involvement of the choroid could be detected. Further investigation demonstrated a de novo metastasis in the right frontal lobe of the brain.

CONCLUSION: The lesion showed remarkable regression with subsequent systemic chemotherapy.
