안구 적출술로 확진된 폐 선암의 안구 전이 1예

Abstract

Metastatic tumors to the eyes are probably the most common type of intraocular malignancies. The most common metastatic tumor is the breast cancer overall and lung cancer in men. An eyeball metastasis from lung cancer has a poor prognosis. Differentiating an eyeball metastasis from the primary malignant melanoma is important. Eyeball metastasis of a lung adenocarcinoma confirmed by pathology has not reported in Korea. Here we report a case of a metastatic lung adenocarcinoma to the eyeball confirmed by enucleation and a transbronchial lung biopsy with a review of the relevant literature.
