Choroidal metastasis as an initial presenting feature of metastatic lung cancer is exceedingly rare. External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) is an effective and widely accepted therapeutic modality. However, data addressing the effectiveness of other treatment strategies is limited. Herein, we present a patient with choroidal metastases secondary to lung cancer and review the relevant literature.
A 25-year-old male presented with deterioration of vision. His evaluation revealed bilateral choroidal metastasis secondary to adenocarcinoma of the lung. Unfortunately, his vision continued to deteriorate despite treatment with EBRT and chemotherapy.
Metastatic lung cancer can manifest with choroidal metastasis as an initial presentation.
脉络膜转移作为转移性肺癌的初始表现极为罕见。外照射放疗(EBRT)是一种有效且被广泛接受的治疗方式。然而,关于其他治疗策略有效性的数据有限。在此,我们报告一例继发于肺癌的脉络膜转移患者,并复习相关文献。
一名25岁男性因视力下降就诊。检查发现双侧脉络膜转移继发于肺腺癌。不幸的是,尽管接受了EBRT和化疗,他的视力仍持续下降。
转移性肺癌可表现为以脉络膜转移为初始表现。
