Choroidal Metastasis Revealing a Lung Adenocarcinoma: A Case Report

Choroidal metastasis is the most common malignant intraocular tumor. Its diagnosis in a patient with known lung cancer is usually easy. However, without any context of already known cancer, further elements are needed to guide the diagnosis. We report the case of a 47-year-old patient with a history...

description Choroidal metastasis is the most common malignant intraocular tumor. Its diagnosis in a patient with known lung cancer is usually easy. However, without any context of already known cancer, further elements are needed to guide the diagnosis. We report the case of a 47-year-old patient with a history of smoking who presented a choroidal metastasis of left lower pulmonary lobe adenocarcinoma discovered on imaging. Imaging techniques, mainly ultrasonography, CT scan, and MRI can help guide the diagnosis of choroidal metastasis even in the absence of a known origin initially.
