Abstract

Some of the lung cancers are diagnosed at metastatic stage and symptomatic ocular metastasis is very rare. Therefore, eye examination and orbital imaging are not routinely performed in lung cancer staging. Retinal detachment was detected in our patient who had visual loss in the left eye. In the imaging, choroidal metastasis was seen and the diagnosis of underlying lung adenocarcinoma was thought to be related. It is a rare presentation in the presence of eye-related symptoms that provides dramatic improvement in quality of life with early diagnosis and therefore should be kept in mind.
