To report two cases of metastatic neuroendocrine tumors masquerading as primary ocular disease.
Case 1 is a 38-year-old man who was referred with subacute onset diplopia and fluctuating ptosis suggestive of myasthenia gravis. Case 2 is a 21-year-old man who presented with blurry vision and was found to have a pigmented ciliary body mass and retinal detachment suggestive of uveal melanoma. Both patients were ultimately diagnosed with metastatic neuroendocrine tumors.
Neuroendocrine tumors, though rare and infrequently metastatic to the eye and orbit, can initially present with ocular signs. A broad differential and careful consideration of ocular and systemic symptoms are critical in such challenging cases.
报告两例伪装成原发性眼病的转移性神经内分泌肿瘤病例。
病例1为一名38岁男性,因亚急性起病的复视和波动性上睑下垂就诊,提示重症肌无力。病例2为一名21岁男性,因视力模糊就诊,发现有色素性睫状体肿物和视网膜脱离,提示葡萄膜黑色素瘤。两名患者最终均被诊断为转移性神经内分泌肿瘤。
神经内分泌肿瘤虽然罕见且很少转移至眼和眼眶,但最初可表现为眼部体征。在这类具有挑战性的病例中,进行广泛的鉴别诊断并仔细考虑眼部和全身症状至关重要。
