Abstract

Carcinoma lung Choroidal metastasis Retinal detachment Subretinal mass
Symptomatic choroidal metastasis (CM) is a rare presenting feature of disseminated lung malignancy. Detection of the primary malignancy usually precedes ocular findings. We report a rare case of blurred vision secondary to bilateral CM as the sole initial manifestation of disseminated lung malignancy in a female patient. Pulmonary symptoms appeared 2months later. She received radiotherapy and palliative chemotherapy and survived for 7months after the initial presentation.
